Interference on runner who already scored

[UmpireTommy]

Little League rules- very comparable to OBR I believe.

 

R1 only nobody out, batter hits a deep fly ball to the fence and R1 comes around to score. BR then also attempts to score but R1 is still lying near the plate causing F2 to try and run around him to make a tag. No tag is made on the BR but I called him out for interference on R1 because he was no longer apart of the play and he hindered the catchers ability to make a play.

 

Whats the ruling gentlemen?

If we take this to the most extreme example, of a throw coming to F2 with two runners one step apart.  By letter of the rule(s), if the first runner is tagged out as he slides into home he won't (shouldn't?) be ruled to interfere with F2's attempt to get the following runner - however, if the lead runner scores, he would be.   I suspect this is not the spirit or intent of the rule (or the 6.01(a)(5) comment) - I suspect, and reserve the right to be wrong, that the intent of the rule is to apply the same standard to both, to some degree. 

And following that spirit, sliding into home and laying there for 3-4 seconds would not be "continuing to advance"...getting up and making way for the dugout would be...(?)

Similarly: F2 receives the throw on the 1B side of the plate (say, in the LH batters box), and goes to tag out the runners. As he's going to touch R1, R1 either scores or doesn't.  In either case, he's a retired runner, and  F2 is now prevented by R1's body from tagging the BR immediately behind him, who now scores thanks to the R1's presence.

I believe in most interpretations I've seen here, there is an expectation of reasonability in this rule.  The retired/scored runner cannot 'immediately' disappear/cease existing, so there is a necessary 'continuation' of existence that must be permitted.

So I think this is where the question of 'did R1 have time to get out of the way' comes into play.
