I, too, looked at the replay of this and wasn't convinced it WASN'T interference. It would have been a pretty easy sell, considering where the runner was running (BOTH feet inside fair territory) and where the throw was coming from. It was the umpire's judgment whether the throw was mishandled because of the runner's actions or because of the throw itself not being a decent enough throw. Obviously, the umpire thought the throw was bad on it's own merit and the runner had nothing to do with the first baseman not being able to catch the ball.
Still....
