Im not the history buff on baseball rules and others can probably help out here, but I believe that not to long ago there was discretion given to the umpire (Fed rules?), about double plays. Meaning, if the umpire deemed that the interference was minor and the defense did not have a chance to get the out at first, then there would only be an out for the interference.
Im am not aware of a scenario such as yours, having any other ruling.
