Are you protecting this runner all the way to home when obstructed rounding 1st?
What is the problem with that? As stated, it was a gapper and if the umpire believes the obstruction caused the runner to be put out prior to reaching the base s/he would have had the obstruction not occurred, then it is the correct call.
