I don't do LL, but I have a LL book. It is pretty much the same as FED and OBR on this issue. 7.09(d)- before two are out and a runner on third base, the batter hinders a fielder in making a play at home base; the runner is out. 6.06(c) also applies - the batter is out for illegal action when interfering with the catcher's fielding or throwing b stepping out of the batter's box or making any other movement that hinders the catcher's play at home base EXCEPTION: Batter is not out if any runner attempting to advance is put out, or if runner trying to score is called out for batter's interference - which he should be under 7.09(d).

Long story short - in this situation, with R3 advancing, with 2 out batter is called out for batter interference. With less than 2 out runner is called out.
