Rob,

I agree with WMB:

Runners on 1st and 2nd, 1 out. Grounder to the pitcher, as pitcher is throwing to third, shortstop is blatantly in the way of R1 going to third, tries at the last second to get out of the way, and moves in the same direction as the runner who tried at the last second to get around her. They crash, BIG.

Definately sounds like OBS. I realize you are talking 7/8
year olds here, but if you are using umpires, the call needs
to be made. Poster did not say what rules were being used,
such as NSA, ASA, etc. The described case does sounds
like OBS. F6 impeded the progress on the runner advancing.
Not sure what was meant by "blatantly".
