Is it possible that F1 is trying to make his play on the ball in foul territory -
SO R3 CANNOT SCORE ON A PLAY WHERE THE DEFENSE HAS NO CHANCE TO GET HIM OUT???????

I'm guessing that if the ball is played in foul territory, the PU will be sure that R3 is escorted back to 3rd. Therefore, if R1 interferes on F1 - even on a foul ball - in this situation, we have interference.
F1 should be granted the right to make what I would think is a heads up play, rather than risk letting the ball roll back into fair territory - allowing R3 to score easily.

Can the offense take that away from him?
Sorry guys . . . not while I am behind the plate.
