Intent is NOT a requirement on batter's interference UNLESS F2 misplays the ball in which case rule 7 for FED Rule 6 for OBR no longer apply and you need to refer to rule 8 (FED) and rule 7 (OBR) .
Example:
R1 stealing B1 takes a mean cut and loses his balance which causes him to cross the plate in front of F2 who is trying to make a paly
Even though B1 "didn't mean to" interfere the fact is they did.
