Steve Rule 6.06(c) does not apply in this situation
From the OP
Since the ball got passed F2 B1 is no longer "classified" as a batter but an offensive teammate.
Therefore, the rule governing the situation described in the OP is OBR rule 3.15 Comment

Sorry, Pete, but 3.15 specifically does not apply to offensive team members participating in the game (meaning batters or runners).
And, even if it did apply, while it's interference, that just means the ball is dead and the umpire imposes whatever bases or outs he wants.
I'd go to 2.00-Interference "...impedes ... any fielder attempting to make a play."
I can read the OP in two ways -- the other runners were sufficiently far enough off the base that there was a play, or the action was (reasonably) relaxed and there wasn't a play. The former is interference (and an out); the other is "weak interference" and put everyone back.
Only the OP can decide, sinc he was there.
