Nothing for umpire to do ... yet. However, I could easily see a quick interference call being had on any ball hit to the shortstop. Runner was INTENTIONALLY interfering with F6's ability to field the ball. Sounds like a dumb idea for R2 to do this on purpose - as the only time they create an advantage by this action, it turns out to be an illegal one and an out.
