The catcher ran over to attempt to catch the ball, even though it was over the fence and foul, and pushed my son out of the way as he also looked up at the ball.
The umpire called my son for interference and the batter out.
None of the coaches have ever seen such a play and did not argue the call.
Is this the correct call?

What did the on-deck batter interfere with? The catcher's opportunity to watch a foul popup go out of play? If the play happened as you described, I don't see how this can be called interference.
