That, in and of itself, doesn't matter. You need to decide which fielder (F9 or F3 in your example) is the fielder most likely to make a play. That's the "protected fielder." Contact between the runner and the protected fielder is (most likely) interference. Contact between the runner and the non-protected fielder is (most likely) obstruction.

If it's obstruction, and FED, you award at least one base.

If it's obstruction and OBR, it's "type B" obstruction (no play was being made on the runner). The "award" depends on whose opinion you believe -- it's either a one base award, or the runner is still out since that would have happened absent the obstruction (iirc).
