Obstruction is a violation of the defense.
R3 could have run to the side of F5 and avoided the contact. The runner is allowed that option.

He is, but he is not forced to totally avoid a fielder on a THROWN ball. Indeed, in most leagues he cannot maliciously hit the fielder, but most of the time when the fielder is fielding a thrown ball and a runner contacts him it is nothing. (FED 8-4-2g, OBR 7.08b, etc.)
