2-47-3 INITIAL PLAY ... A fielder is considered to be making an initial play on a fair batted ball when she:
a. Has a reasonable chance to gain control of a ground ball that no other fielder (except the pitcher) has touched.

Call is interference per rule book in NFHS.

Only because it is the slow season.........

Don't you think

Ground ball to F1 deflected off her glove towards F6R1 bumps into F6 as she is going for the ball.

describes
"F6 trying to gain control of a ball that had been deflected by the pitcher".
