OBR 7.08 Any runner is out when--
(b) He intentionally interferes with a thrown ball; or hinders a fielder attempting to make a play on a batted ball;
I know I was reading that this morning, just looking for a case play, I"ll check by BRD.

Same situation, BR walks but on way to first interferes with F2 throwing to a base we would have interference. Some would say he's just doing what he's supposed to, going to first. There was no intent etc.,

Just trying to clarify,
