Interfering with a thrown ball and being hit by a thrown ball are different.
For reference, I was part of a similar play this summer (not a bunt, hit to F3 in front of the bag), generating a lot of discussion in the umpire locker room.

NCAA 12.2.13 and 12.8.5 (2014-2015 book) both have intent required on a thrown ball.
