(I'm assuming R1 passed near the base)
In OBR it's easy. It's Type B obstruction, so there's no "automatic penalty". Just wait for the appeal at second.
FED #1) In FED, there's supposed to be a 1-base minimum award. But, that doesn't protect the runner from baserunning errors. So, if the defense appeals the miss at second while the ball is still live, the runner is still out. If they don't, then award second and deny any subsequent appeal under the "last time by".
FED #2) It wasn't really obstruction since the runner wasn't hindered from advancing or returning. It was a "call made in error" and can be reversed. Reverse it, and apply the OBR ruling.
