Let's see....

R2 stealing on the pitch Batter hits a slow roller towards 3rd.. R2 is now standing on 3rd, F5 moves over to field the ball, and makes contact with R2, F5 can't get to the ball.. and the ball rolls past F5 in fair territory.

Do you have anything? If so what?

What if it is intentional by R2.. what do you have then? What if there are 2 outs, which offensive team member is out R2 or BR

Rule 7.08b Comment: A runner who is adjudged to have hindered a fielder who is

attempting to make a play on a batted ball is out whether it was intentional or not.

If, however, the runner has contact with a legally occupied base when he hinders the fielder, he

shall not be called out unless, in the umpire’s judgment, such hindrance, whether it occurs on fair or

foul territory, is intentional. If the umpire declares the hindrance intentional, the following penalty

shall apply: With less than two out, the umpire shall declare both the runner and batter out. With two

out, the umpire shall declare the batter out.

There it is for OBR so double play or nothing based on intentional or not. If there are 2 outs the batter is out.
