If a player running home on a passed ball touches the plate then reaches back and catches the ball from the catcher throwing to the pitcher, with another runner going to second. what should the call be.
1 runner at home out for interference. run not scored
2 runner on second out, run scored

he touched the plate 1st so the run scores, then the runner going to 2nd is out for interference....

But if he was then why did he reach behind. I don't think he did it on purpose but it's still interference. cause it could have changed the runner at seconds position.

run scores, dead ball once he touches the ball
