Try redefining with capitalization as "TeachersPit", but still don't get the meaning.
Anyway, the play above obviously results in a dead ball if R1 is put out and so no outs are possible and BR becomes R3 at 1st, R2 gets 2nd. If R1 is not put out, then the umpire must judge if R2 was affected by the OBS or by the BU call. If so, same effect. If not, a possible out.
OBS and other plays are not DDB because a subsequent out results in an IDB. It's because we have to let the offense to achieve what they can and not penalize them for a defense infraction.
There are some rules that require a next base award in specific circumstances like a rundown in PONY and possibly in LL; but they are not the general rule.
