Speaking NFHS - #24. #16 is out for interference, charge foul ball (and strike) to #24.

I don't have my ASA rule book in front of me but I believe when the runner interferes with a routine fly foul ball, the runner who interfered is out AND the batter is out also. Since there were two outs in the original post, I'm not sure if you would call them both out, but think you would. If that is the case, #25 would lead off the next inning. Dave
