That's not what the OP said

This one I'd like to see. By the description I got F5 crashing right in front of the box as runner leaving the box..

This sounds an awful lot like the BR/F2 scenario "doing what they are supposed to be doing" and the intent behind "train wreck" in that scenario.
The OP said that F5 crashed the plate, which is what every F5 does when the batter squares around to bunt. That's normal. The batter was late leaving the box. That's not "doing what they are supposed to be doing". F5 was fielding a batted ball along first base line. By the description I don't see F5 being on top of the batter. She was probably moving laterally toward the first base line. Runner has to avoid! You also don't seem to think that the delay of the runner is significant. I do.
