Sounds like no obstruction to me, based on

"She did not slow up, change direction or anything other than full steam ahead."

Must have looked that way to you, too - based on

"Coach wants OBS-says catcher blocked home but in my judgement the progress of the runner was not impeded."

Now, in keeping with our NZ friend, who says to always start teching new umps with the definitions, (and that's a very good approach) - what does the Fed book define obstruction as? Look in Rule 2, under the definition for obstruction. After you do that, tell me was this runner obstructed?
