Game plyed under OBR. BR singles to right, F9 fields ball and throws in to 2nd base. As the BR is rounding first, he runs into F3. It was a normal play and the BR was not advancing to second, just rounding the bag after the single.
OBR 7.06(b) states "If no play is being made on the obstructed runner, the play shall proceed until no further action is possible. The umpire shall then call "Time" and impose such penalties, if any, as in his judgment will nullify the act of obstruction."
Since the runner clearly would not have advanced to second, am I correct in keeping him at first even though he was obstructed rounding 1st?
If this happens under FED rules, this is an automatic award of second, correct?
