R1 has rounded 3rd at the time of the interference call.
Question is R1 alway called out, or just returned to third and possibly called out based on the umpires judgment on whether the defense had a play on her.
I haven't looked this up as my books are at home. But I have the lead runner out on interference since the interference occurred after the BR was already out.
The guy, I believe that is buying lunch says that the 2nd out is a judgment call.

Speaking NFHS, you must ask yourself if the "interference" prevented a play on another runner, as you have already been directed my Mark above. If there is no play, then you have nothing else, except maybe a DQ'ed player if you feel the contact was flagrant and unsportsmanlike.
If there was the possibility of a play, in your judgement, on another player, then the player closest to home would be called out.
Who's buying lunch now?
