Taking it a step further, BR is already declared out on the infield fly. F3 misjudges the fly ball, runs forward in front of B2 (who is not touching any base), and the ball hits B2 on the head.

The ball actually landed on the Runner (R2), not the batter runner. Officalls called dead ball, batter was out on infield fly, runners returned to base at time of pitch. Our discussion was do you also call the interferer out?

Apparently, yes, unless he's touching a base.

Yes, if the interferer is off base.

Well, now we have another question or two. Was the runner behind F3 or was another fielder in postion to field the ball AND get an out?
