Time, that's interference, batter/runner is out.
Does the ball have to arrive before the runner? not necessarily
Does the ball have to hit the runner? Not if he sails it, in your judgement because of the running lane violation
Does the runner have to intentionally interfere with the play at first?
No, at higher levels, when they're running inside of the running lane, they know what they're doing.
