INT vs no call

Today I have bases full, batter hits a line drive up middle very slightly to left field side of 2B. R2 takes lead on pitch, as ball is hit, F6 breaks to her left and after a step, has to hesitate for a split second because runner is between her and the ball. Runner also hesitates for a split second and goes to her right to avoid F6 allowing F6 to continue in a straight path toward the ball. There is no body contact.

Batted ball goes into center field about 2-3 strides beyond F6's reach.
In my judgement, F6 would not have had a play on the ball had R2 not caused the slight hesitiation of F6. However it would have beel closer, maybe 1-2 strides beyond her reach rather than 2-3.

D coach came out and wanted INT because F6 obviously had to hesitate for a split second.

How do you draw the line between INT and no call on this play?
