"3. as I recall the throw did come into the infield in the direction of home, tho it was cut off. That would constitute enough of a play on R3 to warrant the award of home."
----------------------------------

If that throw was cutoff I don't think it would be construed as a play by F7. If my thinking is right no play was being made on the runner at the time of the obstruction therefore it's Type B and the runner is protected to third. Everything points to B including the directive. G.
