Umpire Interference (NFHS Rules)??

One out. R2 at second base. B3 hits ground ball to F6. F6 throws the ball over F3's head and the throw is recovered by F9. F9 sees that R2 has rounded third and is heading toward home plate. F9 throws the ball to F2 who is standing on the first base side of the diamond on a line from third base through home plate approximately three (3) feet from home plate when he catches F9's throw. R2 is approximately ten (10) feet from home plate when F2 catches F9's throw and steps toward home plate to tag R2 out before he reaches home plate. The problem is: The PU is standing on home plate staring his feet not realizing that R2 is bearing down on home plate and F2 is trying to make a play on R2. F2 is blocked by the PU from tagging R2 and R2 is able to touch home plate.

What do we have?
