Delayed dead ball is a HS and LL call. Secondly, as soon as the ball hit the runner before it reached F3, the ball is immediately dead, R1 is out for interference, and the batter-runner is awarded 1st base. There is no way to get two outs on this play. The umpire blew it.

Delayed dead ball in FED is not for interference. The ball is dead IMMEDIATELY.
Actually it IS possible to get two outs on an interference call. If the umpire rules that the runner INTENTIONALLY interfered, the BR is also out.
