Plate Umpire rules "Dead Ball Catchers Obstruction". After discussing with his partner he puts the batter back in the box and awards the batter a ball and the count is now 3-2. R3 is returned to 3B. Is this the correct ruling?

See Crabby_Bob's answer concerning what the award should have been on this delayed dead ball.
