If your judgment says this was a deliberate attempt to confuse the fielder then you call the interference, ring the runner up, and go home.
INTERFERENCE
(a)Offensive interference is an act by a member of the team at bat that interferes with, obstructs, impedes, hinders or confuses any fielder attempting to make a play. 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 judgment of the umpire, legally touched at the time of the interference, unless otherwise provided by these rules.
