Is it another way to say this, that the batter/interferer is out unless the runner is coming home with less than 2 outs?
Which rule sets don't work this way?

CecilOne, maybe you can help me understand the rationale of this OBR based exception. Why would you want to allow the batter-interferer to bat again leading off the next inning? If, as in ASA and NFHS softball, the batter-interferer is out for interference, the dead ball kills the play on the offense, and the next batter would lead off next inning. In the OBR version, by calling the runner out, batter-interferer bats again.
Why?
