What might have been interesting was I do not know that the obstructed runner ever did go touch the plate - hmmmmmm could have gotten really interesting there.

Absolutely the correct call, maybe it could have been made a second or so earlier - wouldn't have confused the blonds into thinking it was a 1-armed safe call.
Steve,

I was wondering if maybe he [PU] thought she could get
the plate on first pass, but was OBS coming back. Although
I thought it was OBS all the way.
Agreed. Personally, I thought she obstructed her twice:

First by blocking the plate long before the ball arrived.

Second, after the ball arrived by pushing her away from the plate with her right leg.

Either way, great call!
