The key phrase in FED rule 8-8-6 and ASA 8-8F is that the runner "could not avoid contact with the ball."
To me, a ball batted hard enough that the pitcher deflects it toward F6 and it remains catchable before it hits R1 going from second to third is one that I could easily judge R1 could not avoid. It wasn't as if the ball was just bouncing toward F6 and R1 looked at it as she/he headed toward the base.
