Just to clarify... both feet completely in the running lane; shoulders, arms, whatever, extending over fair territory, gets hit with the throw.
It's actually quite likely, if the throw is from foul ground (1st base side) and F3 sets up fair (DMF3)...
BR in the lane cannot be INT unless intentional.

Mike said the other side of the coin:
"If the BR is only partially within the lane, the rule is applied by where on the BR's body (including uniform) the ball made contact. "
