The play that I provided is nearly word-for-word what was described in the OP. R1 and R2, F9 fields ball as R1 rounds 3rd, throw 12 to 15 feet off-line and nowhere close to being able to make a play on the runner, and no intent on the part of the on deck hitter to interfere. That's what the OP stated, and that is what I transcribed from GA Umpire's description thereof. Stop trying to rewrite history, and admit defeat. Harry and Hunter, et al, have given you what you asked for, a definitive ruling on the play.

Rounding third, touching 3rd....WTF is the difference? Nobody said one thing about a "45 ft. mark."
And at the TOT, which is where the base awards a based from, R1 was between 2nd and 3rd, and BR was between 1st and 2nd (using simple logical conclusions here, which you are no doubt unfamiliar with, apparently) so R1 gets home and BR gets 3rd. Again, what's the difference? The difference is that the award is made on the throw going out of play and not because of any of your imagined interference.
