Thanks for your response...however, I think that these officials believed that the rule only allowed them to give her 3rd and since she made it to 3rd safely - the obstruction was not used...I don't think they even THOUGHT that it would be possible to give her home...just my observation from their discussions. I still am not seeing how this rule helps the offense if a defender intentionally intereferes with a runner between 2nd and 3rd on a hit to the outfield...especially in a tight game. But I guess you need to see it live to know exactly what we saw...
