I was scoring a game, yesterday, and I had a situation where this occurred:

Runner on 2nd
Batter hits ball to SS and SS makes bad throw to 1st, that scoots about 10ft away..
1 run scores and batter then starts to head to 2nd, but 2nd Baseman gets in his way...
Umpire calls "Interference" and gives 2nd Base to batter...

When I was entering the play, I couldn't find a "button" for "Interference", to get the batter to 2nd. I then just hit "On throw". Did I miss something?

In the 100 plus games I have scored, this has been called once, so it surely isn't a priority, but I was looking for the option to hit a button "Runner Interference".

Defensive Obstruction is the actual call for this, and it is included in the next release.

Currently there is no Defensive Obstruction button (Obstruction being the proper terminology in this case). FTM has reported in another thread that they will be adding DO to the buttons for advancing runners in a future release. Currently, I would just say on the throw and make a note about it.
