"stepping out of the batters box":
takes off for 1st.

There is a passed ball which is an exception to 7.3.D

"interfered with a play at home":
F2 throws to second to get batter, R2 comes home to score.

Look up the definition of "play". There was no attempt to retire the runner therefore there is no play with which to interfere.

Of course, I said I was "Stretching to find coverage" , using the Batting rule as the player involved was still a batter.

And, was curious about a response.
