It's the same in all the association. When a play is made on the obstructed runner, before she reaches the base you would have awarded her, it's "Dead Ball! I have obstruction on the catcher, runner is safe!"

The only situation in which this is not a immediate dead ball, the rules say you don't enforce a rule if it benefits the offending team. So, if a trailing runner is right behind the obstructed runner, a play is made on the obstructed player and the ball gets away to the fence, you might not call dead ball if the trailing runner is clearly going to score also. If you called dead ball, the trailing runner would have to go back to 3rd, preventing the score.

I don't know, just thought of that situation. What does every one else think?
