You don't see that call all that often but there was one called against the Ole Miss 3rd baseman in the game before ours. It didn't look to me like the fielder blocked the bag on that one either but she did have a foot that protruded an inch or two in front of one corner of the bag. The runner was trying to escape a run down and was heading back up the line from the direction of home plate. The corner slightly blocked was the one nearest the pitcher's circle.
So two calls in successive games in the WCWS. Both were reviewed and both led to interference being called.
Smells like a point of emphasis to me
