I did not see the play, but if this description is correct it would explain the no-call. F2 moving into the batter during his throw is not BI.
We watch for the batter to do something here: be off balance, fall into F2 during the throw, step across the plate, etc. Sounds like none of that happened.
This is not "weak interference" or "backswing interference" (which does not exist in FED rules) for the reason already given: F2 had already secured the ball when the contact occurred.
