While I am familiar with a case play (FED, FPSR) that documents that a runner who is LESS than halfway is NOT out when hit by such a throw, I have never in my life come across one even remotely like the one you describe.
Cite, please.

JM, don't have my books with me and per say these are not FED Case plays however, there are two references, BRD and a recently published NASO book "Plays That Trip You Up" , that make reference to a runner that is hit by a throw in a FPSR situation, when
more than half way to second. As already agreed with others on this forum it is probably a call that wouldnt be made unless the runner is very close to the bag, if at all.
The point I was trying to make is, that small amount of documentation is more than the documentation that explicity gives an umpire authority to call out a runner for interference, as being discussed in this op.
