I can't see how in Sit. 2 of the OP's comments one could justify ruling a double play. If F6 is trying to field a ball and R2 runs into him, we've got a simple interference: R2 is out, ball's dead, R1 is moved to second due to the batter being awarded first base.
I can easily see this being a DP - but not on BR, on R1 - R1 is far enough off the base when R2 crashes into a fielder about to catch the ball (OP didn't say "fielding a grounder", it said, "Making a catch"), R1 is a dead duck. DP - R2 out, R1 out, BR to first.
