Tonight in my co-ed league runners were on first and second with 2 outs. The batter hit a line drive between my LF and LCF. Runner from second scores easily as does the runner from first. The batter/runner comes around to score for an inside the park homerun. I am covering home and there is a play to be made on the batter/runner. My SS goes to make the throw and has to alter what he would normally do because a player not involved in the play walked in front of me in the field of play. I asked the umpire for him to call interference because said player not involved in the play crossed into the field of play in front of me, the pitcher, covering home plate for a throw. Her crossing in front of me caused my SS to throw the ball in a different manner than he would have had she not crossed in front of me. The umpire said it wasn't interference at the time of me calling for it. If I'm not mistaken this interference call would have made the runner who ended up scoring out and nullify his run. When I asked him to explain immediately following the play he said that there was no play to be made. Was this the correct call or was it interference? I'm not protesting the game. I'm not looking to go back to him and throw it in his face. I would just like clarification.
