Ya, I saw that extra little whack too. Probably retaliation for the hard slide at 2nd previously. Definitely uncalled for.
For those of you who missed the play, there was a bang-bang play at 3rd with F5 in a base blocking position. However, the ball arrived at F5 before the runner slid into F5. Per my understanding and concensus here, there was no obstruction by either ASA, NFHS, or NCAA rules. F5 was not preventing the runner from reaching the bag in advance of receiving the ball.
Had the ball arrived AFTER the runner, OBS would have been called per ASA and NFHS. I don't know the NCAA particulars but it sounds like it would NOT have been OBS in NCAA.
Great info! Thanks folks!
