This discussion has come up before. In FED, the act must be judged intentional to call it interference. In OBR, no such act is specifically covered in the rules, so when it happened in an OBR game I was umping, me and my partner decided that the catcher had a chance to make a play on the ball, and since the batter didn't interfere intentionally, that the ball was live and the batter beat the throw to first.
Incidently, in FED softball, the batter-runner is called out automatically in this case. Intent is not a factor.
