FED does not contain the OBR language in the comment section under OBR 7.09(j)
nor does FED support "weak interference"
There is a FED case play that talks about B1 unintentionally kicking a ball and the ruling was Nothing but in your OP we are talking about a player.
Ruling:
Since B1 K'd he is out (assumption we had less then 2 outs and 1st was occupied at TOP).
If in the judgement of the umpire the defense could have made a play on another runner then the other runner is called out in this case R2.
I am work so I do not have the FED rule reference handy.
