Slightly different sitution but related question:

Do I understand correctly (from page 1) that the fielder most likely to make the play (and ONLY that fielder) is not interfering if she impedes the progress of the BR but other fielders also fielding the ball would be interfering? So if a batter pops one up to the right side that, left alone, would fall just foul of the base line about halfway to 1B, and F1, F2, and F3 all go for it and are therefore creating a big cluster (yes, there is another word I could add) along the base line (impeding the BR) while wating for the ball to fall, the ump would need to determine which ONE fielder was most likely to make the play and allow her to impede the BR's progress without any call, but if one (or both) of the other fielders impeded the progress of the BR, there would be an INT call?
