"You are forgetting one key word. Interference on a retured runner must be intentional.
From the original incident, and from the TV replay, I am not sure that I would have judged "intentional."
However, interference on a batter out of the box does not have to be intentional so the umpire had not problem making that call.

True, but remember, this is college ball and they are expected to know the game and situations and conditions. Intent is almost always assumed.
