Still waiting for someone to tell me what rule would be enforced for interference.

If the umpire judges it was with the intention of preventing the fielder to partake in the game by knocking them to the ground, now you have a crash which would be USC. Same affect, but if you are not prepared to eject the runner, you have nothing to call.
