My rule book is buried somewhere in my work van, so I could not look up the rule.
BUT.........I found my 2007 casebook. Page 78 concerning rule 8.4.2, there is a "Comment":
Quote:

The umpire has the authority to declare two runners out when a runner or retired runner illegally interferes and prevents a double play In such circumstances, the runner who interferes is out and the other runner involved is also out. Also, when the batter-runner interfers, the umpire may declare two outs. The batter-runner is declared out and so is the runner who has advanced the nearest to home plate.

Somehow, I think that if it is a home to third double play attempt, and the runner coming into home interferes, I would be calling the runner going into 3rd out too.
If you can quote the rule to support your comment, I will gladly change my mind on this.
