The pitcher throws it to the first basemen who drops the ball and it rolls down the first baseline towards home. The batter-runner while running from kicks the ball in her stride and the runner who took off from 1st makes it back to 1st.
Now with intent being taken out of interference, should interference have been called on the retired runner for kicking the ball and the runner at first being declared out

Dead ball, all runners return to the last base at the time the ball was kicked. Yes, I calling tihs a blocked ball.
If there was a possible play, not an out, a PLAY on any active runner, the runner closest to home is declared out.
