Right.
However, as I asked on the other thread, I'm wondering about the mechanics on this. As mentioned, interference leads to an immediate dead ball (right?). I'm making this up as I go, so please bear with me. The PU then:

While in most cases interference does, in fact, result in an immediate dead ball, batter interference is one of the rare exceptions. 5-2(a). In your "sequence", if you were to move #3 after #4 you'd be good. JM

No. You have to wait for the play to finish between 2 and 3. If the initial throw retires the runner, then items 3-5 are ignored. |

So R1 gets to keep second if F2's throw retires R2, and the interference is ignored (since R1 is tagged out, and B1 struck out)?

Suudy,
That is correct. If the F2's initial attempt to retire a runner is successful despite the interference, the interference is disregarded and the play stands. (Regardless of whether or not the batter struck out.) JM

For example, no outs, 1-2 count, B1 swings and misses, but F2 drops the ball. B1 pushes F2 and starts to run toward first. R2 takes off for third. F2 recovers and throws 1) to first in time to put out the batter-runner, 2) to first and over the head of F3, 3) to third in time to tag R1, 4) to third but not in time to tag R1. |

Yes. IF the throw retires the runner, there really wasn't any interference.

Yep. In fed-speak that would be R1 out and R2 back to 1st.
