Able Trips over F3, signal OBS protecting Able between 1N and 2B, I will allow the completion of the play, F6 steps on 2B and throws to 1B to complete apparant double play with Baker out, the play is now over.
Able can not be out and in my judgement. based on you description able would not have made 2B had the obstruction not occured so I place Able on 1B and call Baker out. NOW I LOOK AT POE 35 Page 135
POE 35 addresses the situation where an obstructed runner is awarded a base occupied by a runner then the runner will be awarded the next base. I will make my original call and let the defense keep the out, I guess I was slow calling Dead Ball.
This call will require some good Selling because I guarantee the BU will have visitors.
