Rules update/clarification - August 25, 2010: Runner/fielder interference interpretation

The runner has to get out of the way of the defensive player.

Any contact or interference by the runner is immediately called dead ball and the runner is out, all runners are returned to the base previously held at the time of the pitch unless forced by the batter being awarded first.

If the umpire rules the interference was intentional, they should also call the batter out.
