Game over.

Game is over one way or the other, it was bottom of ninth with 2 outs when play happened. The BR can be called out for missing 1B. I don't see how I could call obstruction on a BR to reach 1B with F1 standing on top of the bag, he should be able to touch it somewhere. I think I could see an obstruction call on his advance to 2B, since F1 standing on the bag makes it more difficult to make the turn. With ball in the outfield and the winning run scoring easily, no way should he miss touching 1B.
