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.

That is incorrect. Batter's Interference is a delayed dead ball in FED.
In the situation given, it sounds like the umpire incorrectly called both the runner and the BR out. It sounded as though the batted ball just happened to hit the runner. Without intent, it is impossible to call two outs on that play. That is what I thought I was inferring when I wrote what I did. I guess I have to be more careful when using absolutes, because someone will always state an exception to the rule.
