F3 has the right to field a batted ball regardless of where the runner is. The runner must avoid contact with F3, or the batter-runner may be called out for offensive interference. The act does not have to be intentional, but if it is, both are called out. (7.08b, read footnote). If the runner has contact with a base it DOES have to be intentional. Rule of thumb for runners: don't touch fielders playing on batted of thrown balls.
