INT or no call?

Were it not for the slowing of F4’s charge, F4 probably picks up the ball with enough time to make the play to F3 w/o undue pressure to rush the throw.

I think you answered your own question in these two statements. I am assuming this was NFHS (based on another statement you made). NFHS, as far as I can remember does not require contact for INT. I believe, based on the way you worded the play, you had INT.

IMO, Coaches should coach their girls not to slow down and if there's contact there is no doubt, but that's another story.

However, lots of INT and/or OBS, are HTBT plays. But you pretty much said the runner's actions interfered with the fielder's opportunity to make a play.
