i just deleted my original post cuz i realized i was unclear in it due to alcohol consumption. i was trying to explain the differences between the 2 rules that were cited in the OP, and i said "only" where i shouldn't have then left out the damn rule difference i was trying to explain. should have done some proof reading before posting and going to bed. damn yuengling. anyway, sorry bout that. this is what my edited post would have looked like...
7.09(f) says they are both out if the interference is in an attempt to break up a double play. since the runner going to 2nd was already safe, there can no longer be a double play. 6.05(m) says that we are going to call the batter/runner out for the interference of a preceding runner, but only if he is attempting to break up a double play, which he was not cuz he was already called safe at 2B. R1 should have been called out for interference, and the b/r should have been awarded 1B.
