No, I don't agree.
B2 is out, D3K didn't apply. (ASA 8-1-B)
F2 tried to make a play on the runner R1 stealing 2B, and B2 (now a retired batter) interfered with the play, so the runner closest to home is out. Her location (fair/foul/lane) and the tag are irrelevant. (ASA 8-7-P).
I certainly don't have a DDB or OBS on B1, even if she made it to 2B - much less to 3B.
I now have 3 outs. End of inning, switch sides.
Ok, how'd I do?

It's three outs, but not by way of INT.
The post specfically stated the the retired batter was "nailed" in the back by the catcher as she was proceding toward 1B. Well, if the catcher was throwing to 2B to get R1, it wouldn't be likely the retired batter would be anywhere near the throw unless the catcher was coached to throw at her.
B out on strikes, R1 steals 2B on DMC and then R1 is out attempting to take 3B.
After the dust settles, the catcher may be gone for USC if the umpire believes she was indeed throwing at the retired batter.
