In NCAA, would F4 in this situation be regarded as an infielder, thus 1st play by infielder, thus award of bases would be TOP? (BR to 2nd; R1 to 3rd)
Or would F4 in this instance not be regarded as an infielder, thus award of bases would be TOT? (BR to 2nd; R1 to home)
Is there any authoritative written interpretation on this besides our opinions?

From the bold red comment in the OP, I think it would be safe to assume BR has NOT reached 1B (no need to make the throw if BR was there already).
This is a TOP award.
