LL Rulebook - Section 2 - Definitions
The rule book defines "Interference as any act by the team at bat which interferes with, obstructs, impedes, hinders, or CONFUSES any fielder attempting to make a play." The rulebook (same paragraph) then states that that "If the umpire declares the batter, batter-runner or a runner out for interference, all other runners shall return to the last base that was, in the judgement of the umpire, legally touched at the time of the interference, unless otherwise provided by these rules."
Appears to me as though you can call the batter out. I do like the way Senior handled it, calling two straight balls rather than the dramatic 'OUT'.
