I saw a thing on ESPN tonight about this and was wondering your opinions...

Batter bunts a ball right out in front of the plate, as BR starts to run to 1B, F2 makes contact with him in fair territory out in front of the plate when he fields the ball and subsiquently throws the ball into center field. I know that the fielder has the right to the ball, but the BR instinctivly would run towards 1B as he has nowhere else to go and it didn't look intentional. Is the runner out for interference? And would R1 end up back at 1B?
