Isn't this a DDB situation? Wouldn't all other runners be in jeopardy?
Also, is it left or right hand?
Under OBR (which is what you said was being used), it's DDB until the obstructed runner is put out. That's when you kill the play and award bases. You would be correct under "not regular / real baseball" as you put it.

It's best to point with the left hand so it's not confused with an "out" call.
