What would the call be if a player from the dugout entered the field of play?

FWIW, this play had absolutely no bearing on the outcome of the game. Just hate not knowing.

Thanks for the responses!
No interference, unless the reverse running was intentional (and it would have to be pretty obvious to make that determination.) Offensive personnel on the field of play have differing burdens of responsibility to avoid interfering, and a scored runner generally has to intentionally interfere for it to be illegal.

A player out of the dugout, OTOH, would be interference, because he is not authorized to be on the field of play.
