FED rule 8-4-2g: "...If a retired runner interferes, and in the judgment of the umpire, another runner could have been put out, the umpier shall declare that runner out. If the umpire is uncertain who could have been played on, the runner closest to home shall be called out."
This rule applies because the batter became a runner then instant he was charged with strike three, even if the ball is caught. Rule 8-1-1b(1).
