Question BI or OOO?

Outs: 2
Runner: R2 (stealing)
Batter: 3-? count
Pitch: outside for ball 4

BR begins to walk towards 1B, F2 upon catching the ball outside continues up the line another step and cocks to throw to 3B, but now the BR is in front of him. He takes another step up and this time fires, as the BR now realizes where F2 is and stops. The throw is on the mark, but just a little late (definitely a close play), my BU rules him safe. I call INT on the BR and call him out.

Was I correct, or is BI no longer "valid" as this is a BR on a BB?
