Remember it doesn't matter where the double play would have happened! If it was a runner(7.09g) then he would be the 3rd. out and no runs score and if Zero outs he is out for 2nd. out and other runners would go back to base previously occupied before the interference.

1) the correct rule reference is 7.09(g) (under the 2007 revisions).
2) The rule requires "willfully and deliberately" interfering (and being out of the running lane isn't sufficient)
3) The rule also requires that the interference be with a batted ball or with a fielder fielding a batted ball -- neither of which was present in your play.
