Read the Interference rule... did batter break any of them? Is any item under "the runner is out when..." true in your sitch? If so, you have an out. if not, you don't.
(As an aside ... there's no rule that states this batter must "vacate the congested area". There are just rules that tell us when a batter has interfered and when she hasn't. Not saying she SHOULDN'T leave the area -- as leaving makes it MUCH less likely that she'll break one of those rules. But the coach misnomer that she MUST leave is simply incorrect.)

OK, I'll read more.
