7.09e Runner that is initially played on is out regardless and other runners return to base at TOI. This is an immediate dead ball.
The philosophy of disregarding INT if an out is recorded by F2's initial throw is only when the INT is committed by the batter, not on a retired batter.
FWIW, Wendlestadt had the same question on his site and his ruling was that this is still INT regardless if the runner on first was put out or not. Runner on third is returned. This is in line with 7.09e
This ruling applies to OBR and NCAA. I would think FED would be the same but I don't know for sure.
