I'm a FED guy. Does ASA have a different rule on this?

It doesn't, but the third out here is NOT on the BR. The BR arrives at first safely due to the interference, but the interference rule declares the runner closest to home out, not the runner the defender was trying to put out.
Since the third out was not a force out, and happend after R1 crossed home, run scores.
