DB and JB are right on point...once INT is called, NOTHING happens after that point.....succeeding action is irrelevant...including catching a thrown ball, runner scoring, whatever. The ball is d-e-d dead. That thrown ball that 'grazed' the runner (who was out of the lane)? You either immediately call INT and kill the ball, or you don't. If you do, no playing action after that moment matters. If you don't, you can't call it later after F3 catches the ball and then try to make awards.

You really have to look at the differences between batter-runner/runner, batted ball/thrown ball, and INT/OBS. Each of these is addressed differently in the rules and their understanding is absolutely critical.
