Example (not intending to derail the thread): Bunt in front of the plate, thrown to 1B. F4, backing up the play, positions herself on the foul line three steps behind on the outfield side of 1B. BR checks up to avoid crushing F4, and is thrown out on a bang-bang play. OBS on F4, award BR 1b??

What does the obstruction rule actually state? We should start (and probably end) there.
Was she hindered or impeded before she was out? That's all we should need to determine; between the bases relates to the effect.
