I am going to use the step and a reach theory here......was the fielder in position to field the ball? If yes........then I have interference........
The offense has everything to gain by crashing or bumping the fielder in this situation........
If F2 is hovering and cannot make up her mind.....then the runner could easily go around F2 to score......if the ball rolls foul........then........no harm/no foul.......(except for the ball of course).......
Now........to answer Curious' question about calling interference if the ball is foul............
The answer would be.......NO........unless.......you believed it was about to become fair.........
If you thought that the runner maliciously ran into the fielder in this situation.............you could have and ejection and a substitution to run for the ejected player........

And not coming in from work.......but from oldests HS game........
Worst game they had this year..........they were beat before they walked on the field...........Big District Rivalry.......and #1 pitcher was not pitching.........
Have NEVER seen oldest as upset as she was tonight..........She had 1 error and missed a diving catch behind third.........she also struck out twice (first time at clean-up this year)............
She also got.........an unassited DP.........made a couple of good digs in the hole at SS for assists and caught a line drive and doubled a girl off third........
Our Area UIC was the BU for the game............and gave her some encouragement after the game..........that did seem to help.............
