OK, let's look at it this way...
a) Runners stick to their bases as ball lands on the ground (after BR & F3 collide) or
b) Ball skips off F3's glove (after BR & F3 collide) & rolls further infield, chaos ensues, R1 is able to score.
Just wanna see a new thread here

If you want to go to the trouble of reasoning it out, the BR is not retired until the ball becomes fair. So no he's not a retired runner interfering with the play.
But you don't have to go to that trouble. It's 8-2-I.
