He attempted to get out of the way and the runner from 3rd scored with ease. As long as it wasn't intentional you have nothing there.

msavakinas, This play sounds a little different then Huskerblue's play on a deflected ball.
In OBR, If he's out of the box, you got something.
6.60(c) A batter is out for illegal action when - He interferes with the catcher's fielding or throwing by
stepping out of the batter's box or making any other movement that hinders the catcher's play at home base.
If he's out of the box and interferes with a play intentional or not, it's far easier to make the interference call (delayed dead ball) rather than explaining to the defensive manager why this should not be called. With two outs in the play you described the batter would be out no run score. This would be the same in Fed.
