The call on the field: the infield fly was enforced, BR out. R2 was called out on the tag. What about the interference?

The debate is whether interference should have been called on R2.

Some umpires believe only one out BR. R2 should have been returned to 2nd base.
Interference immediately on R2, call Time, BR out on IFF, R2 out, play at third never happened. Where they messed up was where you said "play continues."
