bases loaded, no outs. Batter hits a double. Runners all trying to score.
Strong throw home, overshoots the catcher. Catcher runs to the fence, retrieves the ball, turns , and runs into a runner who has just scored and is heading (kinda) for the dugout.

This accidental bump prevented the catcher from makiing a tag at home base.

This is Highschool kids ball with ages 15 thru 19, so lots of learning takes place in every game.

anyway, I didn't call interference but thinking it over after the game I think I should have called interference.

Question is >>>hacd I called interference who is out??? Terry Larkin

Since the runner who caused the interference had already scored it would be the runner closest to home who has not scored.
