Got out the big book (lol) .. in my NFHS Officials Education Program Book for SB.. the sentence in reference to this also supports my interpretation
Page 149 - Case 9 DDB CO
If .. runners were attempting to advance on the pitch, you must use your judgement to make sure you do not penalize the batting team for the obstruction (by negating advancement of the runners).
And every one of you would negate a bases loaded squeeze double scoring two runs because of CO.. .. knocking it down to 1 run award... ie penalizing offense because of CO.
Dont understand it, but I suppose thats why we will have to agree to disagree.
