On RLI, runners return TOP, unless there has been an intervening play.

Just for clarity, RLI has a different effect from other INT plays.

Because the BR hasn't reached 1B. Double play INT also has the same effect.

"PENALTY FOR INTERFERENCE: The runner is out
and the ball is dead.
If the umpire declares the batter, batter-runner, or a runner
out for interference, all other runners shall return to the last
base that was in the judgment of the umpire, legally touched at
the time of the interference, unless otherwise provided by these
rules. (Definition of Terms (Interference))
In the event the batter-runner has not reached first base,
all runners shall return to the base last occupied at the time of
the pitch; provided, however, if during an intervening play at the
plate with less than two outs a runner scores, and then the batterrunner
is called out for interference outside the three-foot lane,
the runner is safe and the run shall count. (Definition of Terms
(Interference) Comment)"
