In the original situation, I don't see how it can be obstruction, because the catcher is making a play. On the otherhand, a "brush" while runner is attempting to avoid contact... but in the end I figure catcher is making a play and runner caused F2 to not be able to make it... so interference. Beware, I'm definitely not sure about that one and am looking forward to what all the rules gurus will have to say about this. I'm sure this will be one of those I'll tuck away in the brain.
