Interference?

I feel like a moron for not knowing this call even though this is my 6th year as an umpire.

Runners on 2nd and 3rd, 0 out. Batter strikes out, pitch bounces off the catcher's glove and settles about 5 feet away from the catcher, to the first base side of the diamond. The batter, in running to first, touches the ball with his foot, but the ball only moves half a foot if that, and the catcher picks up the ball and throws him out at first. The runner at third comes home on the play, and the runner at 2nd goes to third.

I didn't call anything on this one, as I couldn't think of any rule that would ban it. There was no intent on the part of the runner to interfere, and the catcher was not protected as the ball had bounced away from him.

By the way, I hope this is not one of those stupid rules where we have 4 different rules for one rule, 1 under FED, 1 under NCAA, one under Little League, one under OBR.
