I certainly agree that it would make sense to let the play stand if F2 throws the runner out. However, I didn't think the rule was unclear - "The ball becomes dead and base runners return when the plate umpire interferes with the catcher's attempt to throw anywhere." No ambiguity there.
I'm in the middle of a 3-man camp run by Nick Zibelli and a bunch of D-1 NCAA guys. I'll ask them later today and report back here.
