I have a question about a hypothetically different ending to this play (in bold below):

Runner, angry about being tripped, lowers shoulder and drills the SS.

OK, so we have OBS on F4 for the trip. But now we have malicious INT on R1.
Does the INT make the third out and end the inning? Or is R1 ejected (no out) and a substitute has to run for her at 2B?
