First off, the fielder is protected on a batted ball, so you wouldn't have obstruction here in any case, the issue would be whether the BR has interfered.

But now let me ask you: how has the BR interfered if the ball is foul? Exactly what has the BR hindered by making contact with F1 on a rolling ball that is clearly foul?

Naturally, in other cases (pop foul or ball rolling on the line, for instance) interference IS possible.
