Runner on 3rd stealing home on a squeeze play, pitcher steps off but still throws the pitch and the batter lays down a nice bunt, umpire calls the batter out for interference and sends the runner back to 3rd. Is this the correct call?

Only with two out. With less than two out, the runner is out. 7.08g.

Even though the results would be the same, I would not apply 7.08g. I would apply 7.11. Once F1 stepped off, to me, there is no batter anymore. I'd treat it the same as if F5 threw the ball home on this play. Now, he is an offensive teammate who interfered with a thrown ball. So, even if there were 2 outs, R3 is still the only one out.

A batter is a batter. An offensive teammate is neither batter nor runner.
