I would venture a guess that if asked, the umpire would say that he called interference because of the contact made between the runner and fielder.Actually it is worse. The runner in this situation actually lifted his lead leg to try to contact the fielder
Like I said, I don’t think it should’ve been called and Tennessee should’ve won.
IMO, this is another example of why referees/umpires should be available to a media representative after every game for questions.
