The rule that RKB references applies to the runner.
The part of this that I am struggling with is the player in question is a BATTER-RUNNER. Under that section of Rule 8, the situation with a deflected batted ball is not mentioned. That portion of the rule states that the BR is out if s/he interferes with a fielder attempting to field the ball.
Is F3 still attempting to field the batted ball in this play? Does the deflection exempt the BR from interference that is not intentional?
Common sense says that the BR should be treated the same as an R in this case, but I can't recall any specific rulings on this play.
