No outs R1 on first base batter hits a lazy pop fly to the right side of the infield near first base. R1 takes a few steps toward second base then realizes the ball is going to be caught, on his way back to first R1 bumps the first baseman causing him to lose his balance and the ball drops to the ground. I know R1 is out for interference but what about the batter. He would have been out if the first baseman would not have been interfered with.
