Have we come to an agreement that this is Type A obstruction? The ball was in the air to the fielder at second, a play was being made on the runner. Am I reading this correctly so far?
7.06 When obstruction occurs, the umpire shall call or signal Obstruction.
(a)if a play is being made on the obstructed runner, or if the batter-runner is obstructed before he touches first base, the ball is dead and all runners shall advance, without liability to be put out, to the bases they would have reached, in the umpires judgment, if there had been no obstruction. The obstructed runner shall be awarded at least one base beyond the base he had last legally touched before the obstruction. Any preceding runners, forced to advance by the award of bases as the penalty for obstruction, shall advance without liability to be put out.
Sounds like second base to me.
