F2 realizes he does not have a line of sight to F3 and tries to lob the ball over B1. F3 leaps but cannot catch the ball. RULING: B1 is out for interference. Although F2 made an errant throw, B1 is guilty of interference by being out of the 3-foot running lane.

So lob it over F3's head everytime. Perhaps a new rule is in the making ... if the catcher can lob it over the BR and F3's head, the umpire shall call the BR out for interference.
ooohh there's that sarcasm thing again. Damnit!
