Discussion: Is this runners obstruction?

I like B.J. answer. Nancy batter/runner never was hit by the ball. Pitcher deflected it and then the runner leaped over the pitcher goin for the loose ball. batter/runner hit the empty glove of the pitcher.

Thank you. Yes, the rule book doe state runners interference. As a note the ruling on the field here was "runners interference ... never heard of it."

The pitcher is going after a small popup between the mound and first base.

The pitcher deflects the ball over towards the 1st base line and falls right on the 1st base line.

The batter runner going down the 1st base line jumps over the pitcher to get to 1st base.

The pitchers glove never has the ball and gets tipped by the runner. The pitcher never gets touched by the leaping runner.

The ball remains on the ground untouched at this point.

The question from the opposing team is when is it declared that the pitcher is no longer fielding a batted ball (runners obstruction) and when is the ball just a loose ball being retrieved?
