IF you rule interference, you have a dead ball, the BR is out, and the runner returns. If you don't, the runner is safe and you still have a live ball, and only 1 out.

I ruled interference not because of the missed throw, but because the batter's presence in the box altered the pitcher's path of approach to cover the plate. The pitcher was forced to go more to her left because of the batter's presence in the box (batter was RH). The pitcher's approach to home to get into position to make that play should have been unimpeded.
