1. Is the runner closest to home called out ? And the batter allowed to proceed to first ?
2. Is the ruling any different in ASA ?

Speaking ASA
IF the umpire judges there is a possible play to be made and this action prevents the defense from obtaining the ball to make a play, it is INT (8.2.F.5) and the BR is out. The ball is dead and all runners return to the last base at the time of the INT
