No. I'd return R3 based on 7.09(f), especially: In no event may bases be run or runs scored because of such action by a runner.

(unless I'm misreading the play)

Besides, the 2.00 Interference comment specifically says "intervening play at the plate"

Isn't 7.09f about a batted ball and a thrown ball is 6.something m which doesn't advise of runner placement so you use 2.00(a)?

Which is what I was referring to. And the intervening play has to be on R3
