Grass infield & 14 year olds. R1 on 2nd, Batter hits one that dies on grass near F6 but F6 is playing deep. F6 assumes F1 is getting it, but no one does initially. Coach yells to F6 who now runs in to fetch, however R1 who initially waited is now running and F6 holds up momentarily.
By this time the batter was 3/4's down the line & in my opinion there was no play at first, and giving bad defense a "gift" out was just wrong. Could not find case book, or POE to back me up. Are we compelled to award an out anyway.
Which fielder had the best chance, IN YOUR JUDGMENT, to field that ball?

If you judge it to be F1, there is no interference.
