To be interference, the PU must believe there was a play, ie, an opportunity to get an out on an advancing baserunner. We have a dead ball immediately, regardless; if a play for an out was possible, it is interference, runner closest to home is out, and all others return to last base touched at the time of the interference. If judged there was no play for an out, then we have a blocked ball, and all runners return to the last base touched at the time the ball was blocked.
Strictly judgment; your call.
