And, in your play, at the time of the hesitation, had the B-R made it to the running lane?

Drop my name in this hat. Unless intentional, you cannot call a BR/R out for interferring with a thrown ball.
Remember, there is no rule forbidding the BR from running wherever they please. The 3' lane violation applies to interferring with a defender attempting to receive a thrown ball at 1B.
