Not quite true...runners are almost always obligated to avoid a protected fielder trying to make a play on a batted ball--if they fail to avoid, it is likely interference.

but because this is B1 going to first so we have to add the running lane. Now, it sounds like B1 may have been past the 45' mark so now he has to stay in the running lane by rule. But B1 cannot do this because someone is making trying to catch the ball in the lane.

Here we are not dealing with any thrown ball, so the running lane becomes irrelevant.

Ah...Where's Umphater when we need him?
Patrick, there were three fielder here. How many fielders can be protected at one time? What then if the runner runs into a non-protected fielder?
