Dropped Third Strike - Coaches Teaching their players to Run

Can there be 4 official outs to end an inning? Scenario: two outs, runner on third. Batter hits popup in foul territory to left and short of third base. During attempt to catch ball runner on third interferes with 3B, but ball is caught anyway. Doesn't ASA assign two concurrent outs here, resulting in a 4 out inning? Thanks.

The ball is dead and the runner is out as soon as the interference is called. End of play, end of inning. What happens after the interference is irrelevant.

The batter hitting the foul ball leads off the next inning with her count 0-0.
