The comments to 6.06(c) do not mention the situation when the batter interferes after strike 3. In that case do we also get an out on an advancing runner? In the case of a double steal do we get the out on the lead runner and return the trail runner? Same thing even if the attempted putout is on the trail runner?
Where is this all cited?

After strike three, the batter is no longer the batter... he's either a retired runner or in the case of D3K a batter-runner. Apply the applicable rules depending on which.
