Robert----
I suspect there is more to this situation than you originally posted. I am guessing R3 is attempting to score, F2 is throwing to F1 who is covering the plate, and batter is there not knowing he walked, or he is spectating.
If this is the case and batter fails to vacate with a play occurring (and he had opportunity to vacate), then this is indeed batter interference-----intentional or not.
R3 is out and batter awarded first on ball 4 called on delivered pitch.
Just my opinion,
Steve
