Well, it depends. You didn't say which rule set you were playing under, because it makes a difference.

What you have here is a runner interfering with a thrown ball. If this was a high school game under NFHS, rule 8-6-10d requires that interference to be intentional. ASA rule 8-7-J-3, on the other hand, does not require that interference to be intentional.

So be careful when you say "interference doesn't have to be intentional." In some cases it does.
