Interference by R1 on foul fly?

That was PUs contention. I'm trying to provide some rule support for this ruling which I figured PU kicked. Seems like one of those "legal because it doesn't say it isn't " type of situations. I wasn't at the game but got asked a question.

Rule 8-8-13 tells us that a runner is not out if she is in contact with a base unless her interference with the fielder is intentional. The runner doesn't need to vacate the base or move out of the way, and just standing in one spot without moving is not "intentionally interfering".
