Here is the perspective of the umpire who actually made the call.
I was the 1B umpire.
The ball was fould. It landed in foul territory just between the 1st base coaches box and 1st Base. The runner interfered with the 1st baseman while trying to make the catch. He had a play.

Different play, diferent ruling -- R1 is out, other runners return, it's still a "foul ball" on the batter -- an additional strike unless he alrady had two.
I've never seen R1 interfere with F3 on a foul ball.
The play comes up periodically with R3 interfering with F5 -- a little more realistic, I would have thought, but you saw it.
