R1 on 2B and R2 on 1B. B3 hits to short left-center. The ball is fired to the infield but sails over everyone and stops near the offensive team's dugout area. F3 goes after the ball but slips, trips, falls, and twists ankle over some bats laying on the ground. By the time defense the can recover, R1 has scored with R2 on 3B & B3 standing at 2B.

Is anyone out? Who goes where?

Speaking ASA

Officially:

Dead ball. The runner being played on will be ruled out.

In this scenario, there was no obvious play on any particular runner, so all runners are returned to the base last touched at the time of the "interference."

Unofficially:

Now, if you're lucky, the defender will attain the ball and attempt to throw a still-moving runner out. Now you have a play and that runner should be declared out.
