In the post, the runner was between 1B and 2B, standing there looking dumb. Once the obstructed runner is put out, we have a dead ball. Runner between 1B and 2B can't be put out.
Where to put them?
Do you feel runner would have reached 2B safely had you not killed the ball at 3B? Then in my book we must put them at 2B. If not, we reward the defense for making an illegal play...we leave runner at third and move runner back to 1B?
One way or the other, runner needs to be returned to a base since the obstructed runner MUST HAVE been put out since your partner said what he said. DEAD BALL.
