TwoBits has an interesting point, re the Fed rule.
However if F2 deflected the ball into the path of the B-R...
It just doesn't seem logical to penalize the B-R. (The wording is identical to inteference with a batted ball and if a defensive player deflects the batted ball into the B-R that wouldn't be inteference.)
No case plays in the 2002 casebook on this point. I'll have to check the old rule & case books when I get home to see if I can find anything.
