Tom,
Batter started to retreat from box, saw F2 working to a spot behind her (chasing the ball) and stopped to try to stay out of her way, I think she was assuming that F2 was going to throw behind her as the ball was actually behind her and IMO F2 should have had a clear chance for a throw (there was no chance on an out IMO as R1 got a good jump) if she would have done that. But for the record the batters feet were still within the batters box.
To make sure I am square on this does there have to be intent to get batter INT on a throw to any other base other than home plate?
