[QUOTE="IanKEvans2, post: 1396766, member: 12945"] From what I understand this is what happened and the umpires missed it. League-wide there seems to be confusion regarding the interpretation of the rule. Officially, the runner's deviation from the baseline to disrupt the play is considered to be interference. So while perhaps it wasn't a "dirty" play with the intent to injure the catcher (e.g., sliding spikes up), it was technically an illegal slide. [/QUOTE]
