A run cant score, yes, the batter/runner is awarded 1st base but all other runners must return to the last base occupied at the time of the interference unless forced. No matter what runner was hit by the batted ball, the runner at 3rd is either out for the interference, or returns to 3rd base because of interference by another runner. The only possible scenario where a runner could score was if they happened to cross the plate before the other runner was hit by the batted ball for the interference call and that would be one extremely fast runner, like Flash Gordon quick.
what is the correct call

I know this is highly unlikely, but if the bases were loaded and a girl bunted down the 3rd base line and the defense was letting it roll foul, but it didn't...
The runner from 3rd scored and the aggressive runner on second rounded 3rd and was hit by the slow rolling bunt?
OK, never mind. LOL
Thanks for the clarification. That's what I was thinking, but I wasn't sure.
