The term 'position to field the ball' does not appear in the INT rule. The rule on a batted ball gives the fielder the absolute right of way. You made the right call for (possibly) the wrong reason.
"Rule 7.08(b) Comment: A runner who is adjudged to have hindered a fielder who is attempting to make a play on a batted ball is out whether it was intentional or not."
