Interference Question

I found the following passage on page 52 in the case book:

7.4.1 SITUATION H: R1 is on third and R2 is on first. B3 hits a foul fly ball near the third baseline (a) with less than two outs or (b) with two outs. R1 interferes with F5 in his attempt to catch the ball. RULING: The ball is dead immediately. In both (a) and (b), B3 is called out because of R1's interference.

Does this sound like what I should use to show the umpire that he was incorrect in allowing the same batter to lead off the next inning?

Thanks.

If you think the umpire is willing to listen and learn, that's the case play with which to start.
