One of the 7.09 (h?) says that if it deemed intentional the BR is also out.
If you have this type of situation what are you looking at in order to determine if it's intentional? Are you giving the benefit of the doubt to the defense?
If it was R2 instead of R1 would you ever call the BR out?

Did the defense have a (reasonably certain) double play? Did R1 kick at the ball, or just stop and let it hit him, or go out of his way to interfere, instead of trying (but failing) to avoid?
you can get it with R1 and R2 if R2 interferes, but it would be rare with R2 and no R1 -- the double play is rarely obvious here.
