I should of clarified and stated I was talking ASA ruling which there is no penalty stated at least one base. You award the base or bases in your judgement the runner(s) would of made it to had there not been obstruction in a play you always rule the obstruction when it happens with a delayed dead ball call that becomes a dead ball if the runner is put out between the 2 bases the runner was obstructed on then or after the play you award the base which you believe the runner(s) are entitled to unless the obstructed runner has advance past the base you were protecting the runner to.

That is what criteria I was using on the question in doubt do you award the advanced base or do you in your mind have to be 100% sure that the runner(s) would have advanced safely without the obstruction to award further bases

Hope this clears up any questions
