If the ball is thrown from foul territory and is a quality throw straight toward first base, how could it cross into fair territory without being caught? Only way I can see this happening is if F3 is for some reason stretching toward the pitcher to catch this ball coming to him from foul ground and it hits the BR in their last step before hitting the base.

Honestly, this sounds like a non-quality throw to me.
Sounds that way to me also mcrowder, but if F3 was leading the throw to F4 coming in to cover it could be possible. I rather think that F3 had been coached to "plunk" the runner.
