I could not locate where JEA specifically addresses issue.
Authoritative opinion of J/R:
Ruling on Obstruction
When obstruction occurs, the umpire must determine immediately whether or not a play
was being made on the runner at the moment he was obstructed (review: definition of
"play," Chapter 2, p. 11). If a runner misses a base because of obstruction, an appeal of
his miss of such base cannot be upheld.
I'll stand by my first post.
Just my opinion,
Steve
