The lone runner stipulation can't be inferred from the printed rule. This is what Bob Mauger (NJ UIC) told me. Apparently it has come down from on high.

Nope, not for ASA. There must be a play on a subsequent runner. Just went through this at the CAR clinic. If there is no subsequent play on another runner, the obstructed player remains protected between the bases they were obstructed.
I raised the possibility of having it changed to eliminate the "subsequent play" portion in Mobile, AL and was just told that it would not happen. Maybe in the future, but it's not that way now.
