Mike, I see why you might have interference here even on a throw from somewhere other than home, if the play was actually interfered with. And it's a good point to bring up, since most of us don't even think about interference on a play like this, and we probably should.

But from the OP, I can't see interference for two reasons... 1) It sounds like there was no play interfered with... fielder caught the ball - nothing the BR did caused anything to happen to the fielder's chances at making a play, and 2) since the throw pulled F3 off the bag and down the line, sounds like we don't have a "quality throw" here.
