Possibly muddying the waters, because of the non-book rule on avoiding the plate. The league should clarify whether the collision is automatically intentional because the runner is not allowed there. That could have an effect on the other runners.
Yes, the runner from 2nd stays at 3rd if reached before the INT occurred (as opposed to called).

Actually, this rule is in the ASA book (8.9.D.7), but for Senior play. If a runner runs the original line to home and interferes with the defender taking the throw or touching the plate, the ball is dead and the runner is out. This is interference, so no runners may advance.

BUt I don't remember it being a rule in co-ed, so I suggestthe league copy the Senior rule.
