You could also use the "god rule" in rule 10 to make this call, since we want to punish the offending team to the maximum extent of the law. In this case, who did wrong? The BR did, so out, out, out.

How did you come up with abandonment? It can't be abandonment until
after the batter-runner touches first base. You can't get two outs on this play, because there was no imminent double play possibilty. The BR is called out for interference, and the runner should be returned to his position at the TOP.
You also don't want to use the "god rule" to punish teams, or for almost any other reason.
