Baseball Riddle #1

[Sonny44]

Rule 10.16 (d) No run shall be earned when the scoring runner’s advance has been aided by an
error, a passed ball or defensive interference or obstruction, if in the official scorer’s
judgment the run would not have scored without the aid of such misplay.

This is talking about earned runs not RBIs. But, it looks like it's up to the official scorer to make a decision as to what would have happened if the interference didn't occur. In this case the scorer could have decided that the ball would roll into fair territory and grant 3 RBIs. Maybe there's something in the rules, but I couldn't find anything that covered this exact scenario. It's probably a good question to pose to an umpire's site to see if they could come up with a clearer answer. Good one, Sonny.

Thanks Bestiarius. If you know of such a site please go ahead.

Meanwhile, I have another one to post tomorrow. Hope you come up with a couple too.
