Watching the video I think the first base ump did come in an was calling interference on the play. I think he was making the call live on the field but did not do so in a manner that would draw attention to himself as would be needed in a play such as this.
I think the additional person was the one who had to sort out what the penalties were in the given situation.
I do think, if the interference call was correct, the interference was done by a retired batter-runner and as such the applicable penalties were correctly applied.
My issue with the play is the calling of interference by the batter runner on this play, as I simply don't see that.
