It appears that, interference or no, she would have had difficulty throwing the ball with any zip. However, I still think interference should have been called.

Her arm makes no difference ... but the location of BR when this happened certainly does (and we cannot see that from the video, but I did look up who the player was and she's fast). Clearly the umpire (who had the whole play in front of them) saw where BR was when F6 fielded the ball and did not think there was a play.
