Got the impression from the original sitch that this ball deflected several steps away from the fielder and the fielder, while chasing the ball, obstructed the runner.
I had OBS in the initial sitch, and still do. Given this less precise post here, the OBS is less clear and highly dependent upon how far the ball deflected from the fielder.
