I agree with Mike that umpires should not be used at these levels. This age group is basically in a learning process, and you see several things happen which probably shouldn't be called. The last thing that these girls need is over officiation in their game. They are out to simply learn some skills, but mostly just to have a good time.
However, from what you are saying, by the rule book, yes, interference could be supported here. However, I am curious as to why the B/R ended up on second and R2 ended up on third. If the umpire felt that the play warranted interference to the point that he called it, why would he reward the offensive team by advancing their runners. If I were making this call, I would have B/R at first and R2 at second.
