Agree
I agree with the call you made. The double play potential is with an "intentional" attempt to break up a double play. The other scenario involves a fly ball, where the runner interfering is out and the batter also. It sounds like you went with your gut instinct, which I believe was correct. Just don't over think the situation.
However, I do believe, if the intent was there, and, from the post, I believe it was, he probable deserved to be ejected from the game also. Just a matter of opinion, but I believe if the runner was close enough to deliberately interfere, this is unsportsmanlike conduct and deserves what he gets. Again, that is the prerogative of the umpire who saw the play, but either decision could be backed up.
