Wait a minute! Who called obstruction?
First off, I agree with the end result. Obstruction, delayed dead ball, dead ball at the instant obstructed runner is out at 2B, find the B-R and place her at 1B, and, even though you don't think that runner would have made 2B, you have to advance her to 2B because 1B is now occupied.
BUT - BU in "B" has the first play on the infield; therefore you are watching the ground ball, the catch, the taggeD base, and THEN turning to take the throw to 1B. When you are looking at 2B, how did you see a trip over F3's foot only one stride away from 1B?
PU is coming out from behind plate to move to line to follow B-R to 1B. By time he gets out and looks up the trip has already occured.
SO WHO SAW OBSTRUCTION?
