Interference?
 
F2 and no outs. B1 hits a ground ball to F6 that is slowed down due to wet grass. F2 originally anticipated a faster ground ball and had run a few steps past F6 heading for third base. Now realizing the ball is moving slower backs up a few steps to screen F6 from seeing the ball and then runs by him a second time. F6 still fielded the ball and threw out B1 at first base. Is this interference?

Yes.

So let me get this straight, the catcher, F2, somehow confuses the shortstop, F6 who nonetheless throws out the batter who is at first base...right?

Even a Rhodes Scholar and MBA summa cum laude like myself realized right away that he meant to say "R2," rather than "F2."
