Catcher's OBS is a unique situation in which the entire play has, potentially, been affected. As Ed correctly pointed out in his deleted post (that I quoted), B2's ability to hit the ball has been affected. As a result, the ball could have gone many other places than where it did in the OP.
In my interpretation, 8-5-B does not apply.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
