The Washington Nationals recently complained for interference when a throw from home hit the BR outside the running lane. There has always been a difference between being hit by the ball and interfering with a fielder. The video below shows the BR very close to 1st and contacting the fielder. With a single base, the BR has to veer to the base, but was not in the running lane at all. What do you say, INT or not, if it were USA Softball?

From the camera angle, I probably would have called interference.
