Both runners score on the play.
What have you got? (Post ruleset with your answer)

OBR:
Interference and an out. Runners return.
7.09 It is interference by a batter or a runner when—
(j) He fails to avoid a fielder who is attempting to field a batted ball,
7.09 PENALTY FOR INTERFERENCE: The runner is out and the ball is dead.
Note that it refers to a batted ball with no distinction as to whether it is fair or foul. Ball was foul at the time of the interference. Ball is dead at the time of interference. Therefore the ball never went fair. Also bases cannot be run when the ball is dead except on an award (5.02 ). This has no award. Runners return.
Is this actually different somewhere?
