It is impossible for the play to take forever.

Now that you understand that, and previously stated that they cannot go "poof" as the final portion of fielding and making a play with a batted ball.

You should be able to to get this one on your own:

BTW what would happen if the throw would have went over f6's head and into left center? would you then have OBS? or nothing?
There is another option.. I might not be as inclined to reward the offense for their piss poor base running as youare... maybe that contact of the fielder while they are executing a play with a batted ball caused the errant throw and is something else.. interference.

Could be nothing.

It's not rewarded.
