Little League Rules Quiz # 2

Runner on first, one out. The batter swings and hits the pitch, but the catcher's mitt touched the bat and interference is called. The ball falls in for a base hit and the runner goes to third as the batter runner stops at first. The defensive team appeals that the runner missed second enroute to third, and the umpire agrees and calls the runner out. The offensive manager comes out and wishes to have the interference penalty instead of the play, which would place the batter on first and the runner on second. Do you allow this?
