You also need to remember that this ball hit the BR in an area where there is no pre-determined basepath restrictions.
Steve is right. Unless that BR does something INTENTIONAL, there is no call to be made. If you attempt to apply 8.2.F's "intereferes with a dropped third strike", you may hear the offensive coach make a reference to "kick ball" and the catcher intentionally swatting the ball in an effort to put out his BR.
