Thumbs up A probable situation

Moose nailed it. Just like the catcher did in the back of the Batter-runner's head.

The batter-runner is out because he is inside the diamond when he should be in the running lane (assuming he is past half way to first). This is a force out. Ball is dead at the time the interference occurred. All runners maintain the bases they had advanced to at the time of the interference. If a runner has already advanced from 1st past 2nd, they stay at 2nd. If the runner coming home has already touched home plate before the interference, the run counts.

The only exception to counting the run would be if the interference (before the runner touched 1st - therefore a force out)was the 3rd out.
