Now as to what the batter runner did to interfere, I dont know, wasnt there, but I would probably put my money on him deliberately running outside of the running lane to cut down the angle of the throw......

It was a bang-bang play (literally). I expected F3 to step on the bag, but when I saw him reach back to throw, my eyes went to the runner coming from 3rd to home. Then I heard the "pop" of the helmet. From my seat, it seemed like the runner was nailed while running pretty much on the baseline; and the first baseman just made an errant throw.

Obviously the PU saw it differently.
