First off, pet peeve: There is no such thing as "ASA Fastpitch Rules"! ASA is a softball organization that does have specific exceptions and modifications for multiple styles, levels and divisions of the game, but ASA does not maintain an exclusive set of rules for the different styles of the game.
Secondly, unless the fielder was totally blocking the base in a manner to prohibit the runner from making contact, the runner is out upon proper appeal.
