i'm not sure what the interference call was for in the OP, but i would guess that 7.08 would not apply. he certainly wasn't interfering with a fielder making a play on a batted ball, so we can eliminate that. the interference with a thrown ball in 7.08 is actually talking about interfering with the ball, not with the fielder, i.e R1 reaches up and knocks the ball out of the air, which i don't think was the case cuz it sounds like the ball made it to 1B in the OP.
