Ever Seen This Call?

DIII (SCIAC) game over the weekend; happens to be top of 9, visitors down by 1.  Man on first, no outs.  Batter is looking to sacrifice, lays bunt down directly in front of him.  Batter hesitates for a second as he thinks it might be foul; then takes off to run and makes contact with catcher (contact looks to be in the batters box) who is making a play to field the ball right in front of the plate.  Ump immediately calls interference on the batter; then calls out both the batter AND the runner at first.  Never got an explanation, but assume he made judgment call that catcher could have cleanly fielded ball and started a successful double play.
