Roger,
Yup, that doesn't seem to read too well. Also, read the bold penalty note for Articles 5-8. It's assumed, I think, that we'll realize that 5-8 deal with interference.
'Course 5 & 6 mention that it's interference. Now, that penalty note also states that for Article 7, the runner is out along with the batter.
In ASA, Rule 7, Section 6, Article "last" - the batter is out for the interference and all runners must return to the baseoccupied at the time of the interference. Fed is giving 2 outs on this while ASA is giving 1 out.
