Documenting it....

ASA 8-2-E
BATTER-RUNNER IS OUT When he runs outside the three-foot lane and, in the judgment of the umpire, interferes with the fielder taking the throw at first base;...

The more general interference rule for the BR (ASA 8-2-F) requires interference with a thrown ball to be intentional.

In your situation, the 3 foot lane rule does not apply, so unless the BR intentionally tried to get in the way of the throw, there was no interference.
