So F5 lunges but he's still on his feet? If the runner's watching the ball, I guess I could see how he might collide with F5. If I'm picturing this right, it would definitely be OBS.
Next question would be the award. Nullifying the OBS will depend on whether F6 fields the ball: if so, I'd award 3B; if the ball gets into the outfield, I'd score R2.
