I don't know ISF rules, but why go with the "obvious attempt to break up a double play" rule on this one? Isn't there an ISF rule on interference by a retired runner, like there is in most other sanctioning rule sets? In ASA, it's rule 8-7P, and the out would be called on the runner closest to home, so you'd get the same result without having to consider the "obvious attempt" criterion.
