According to Baseball Canada Rule Interpretation #4 the ball becomes dead the moment there is a play being made on an obstructed runner. Now I hope at a National my partners would loudly call the obstruction as well as point to the obstuction, so that we don't look like idiots with running in saying he had obstruction as I am pounding him out.
