Based on the definition of a blocked ball, any offensive player not involved in the game is treated the same as loose offensive equipment which calls for the runner closest to home to be called out should INT be judged.
Rule 7.1.D specifically addresses interference with the defense's opportunity to make an out on a runner. The EFFECT, also, specifically notes that in this circumstance, the runner closest to home be ruled out.
