I was all ready to chime in with agreement on the INT out since B1 was now a BR, until I read 8-2-F-1.
"BATTER-RUNNER IS OUT.
F. When the batter-runner interferes with:
3. a thrown ball while out of the batter's box."
I agree that if in PU's judgement F2 was about to make a throw than the throw need not be completed to have an INT call, but the language of this rule seems to indicate the a BR does still have some protection as long as they are still in the friendly confines of the batter's box.
