You can call the runner on first out if you consider the actions of the batter interference. Rule 7-3-5 "A batter shall not interfere with the catcher's fielding or throwing ..., by making any other movement which hinders action at home or the catcher's attempt to play on a runner" The penalty leads you to Rule 8-4-2h if it is a dropped third strike, and it states " being put out is prevented by an illegal act by anyone connected with the team." But the key is that the umpire must determine that interference occured. Then you have to sell it.
