#2. Swinging bunt tight ropes up the first base foul line, remaining fair. Batter/Runner runs straight down the line toward 1b without contacting ball. F2 follows Batter/Runner up the line and retrieves ball. F2 alters his throw to avoid striking Batter/Runner in back of the head. Throw from F2 ends up in RF. FU calls Batter/Runner Out for interference. Any thoughts?

Where was the Batter when F2's throw struck the Batter in the back of his head?
