Fed Rules. Bases loaded with two outs. Batter hits a high popup in front of the plate. Runner on third interferes with the catcher who is attempting to make the catch. The ball falls untouched and ends up in foul territory. My question is who leads off the next inning? The batter who hit the popup or the next batter in the lineup?
Thanks in advance for your help.

If the interference was in foul territory, the batter is out.
If the interference was in fair territory, the R3 is out, and BR is "awarded" first on a FC.
Either way, the next batter in the line-up leads off the next inning.
You'd have a different result under OBR.
