8-8-J only applies to the runner before he has been put out. 8-8-J(4) states that directly.
Unfortunately, 8-8-P is the only rule that can be applied, IMO. And it only applies if the interference was intentional. Although I would guess that the change in which runner is out between 8-8-J and 8-8-P is intended to be a more severe penalty against the defense, in this case it is a benefit.
But, thems the rules.
I thought about 10-1-L, but that doesn't fit either, since you don't want to not invoke the penalty, you want to substitute a more severe penalty.
Can't do it.
