Possibly so, but I think the others are saying that if Abel would have made only 3B, then Baker has no protection and is in jeopardy of being tagged out. All the answers to Play #2 had Baker out when tagged. Would you protect Baker in that play?

In this case, I say no, Baker is not protected, because she advanced to 3rd during the rundown, and if Able had not been obstructed she would have made it back to3rd and put Baker would have been in jeopardy anyway.
