No runners, no out.
B1 hits to F5, who throws low. F3 scoops the ball, loses control, and in trying to reach for the ball (which has rolled slightly into FOUL territory). Contact is made between BR and F3. F3 and BR fall down. F3 picks up ball, tags BR. BR had not made it to base.
What is your call? Obstruction? Interference? Train wreck?
Yeah, it's from the edge of the absurd, but very similar to the play described here!

FUBlue,
Contact is made between BR and F3. F3 and BR fall down.
Cannot be a train wreck. The ball arrived prior to BR, so
everything did not happen all at once.
Interference - You stated contact between BR and F3.
At this time, is F3 attempting to pick the ball up to make a
play? Did BR contact F3? Post states on contact both went
down, but F3 gets the ball and tags BR. Not necessarily
interference, but on any force out attempt from foul side of
1B, defense and BR can use either white or colored portion
of base.
Was BR OBS to the point she could not slip to inside and use
white portion?
Just some other thoughts on this play.
