A fielder's "try to field" a batted ball ends immediately upon missing or deflecting the ball, and such fielder must, in effect, disappear or risk obstruction. [2.00]

I know what obstruction is. I'm just trying to figure out where it appears in the original play cited. There's nothing to read into it.
Hey, if the batted ball strikes a bird before it gets to F4....
Seriously, interference doesn't necessarily mean that he's catching the ball at that point either. If F4 is coming up to play the ground ball and is run into by R1, it's interference as well.
