Between innings I ask my partner what he saw, he says he thought I dodged it and he never saw the ball veer like it had ricocheted off me.

Clearly, you interfered, since you saw contact and the fielder misplayed the ball as a result. Your partner's opinion gives you no help, since all he can say is "I didn't see the interference," not that there was none.
Nobody likes to umpire interference, but it sounds like the right call here.
