malicious contact - penalty?

Recently had a hypothetical discussion that I'll share. Prior to posting, I checked several threads on this subject. There were some good discussions.

Rule application/penalty might differ based on USA v NFHS...

R1 on 1B, 1 out, B3 hits a hard 1-hopper to F1 who immediately throws to F4 to retire R1 by a good margin. F4 turns and throws unimpeded to F3 but the throw is wild and goes over the fence. R1, although not initially close to 2B continued to run and did a rolling body block into F4.

Has R1 committed INT?

Has R1 maliciously contacted F4? (Let's say yes.)

Can you/do you take another out on the BR?

Slight change: runners on first and third. Same scenario plays out.

Ruling(s)?
