Thanks. I'll know better now if I see this.

Frankly, I think the ruling could have been worded a little clearer. It should have said, "Since the pitch was a third strike and B2's interference prevented a play by F2 on R1, R1 is declared out." There is no "declaration" of an out on B2 due to his interference; he was already out due to the strike out.
