I am not sure the misunderstanding on this is not more from typed words than understanding of how the rule should be applied. I have to say through my ASA instructer I would have to lean towards what Mike has applied

Take this play that happen to me a couple of years ago and tell what you would have awarded

B1 hits a hard grounder to F4 who bobbles the ball F3 who is watching the ball is standing in the base path, B1 decides to take the corner at 1st instead of running through and runs over F3 both go to the ground B1 gets up and goes back to 1st. Now with the way you have stated and I understand since F3 was advancing when contact was made even though he would of been easily out at 2nd you would of awarded 2nd base because of the runner attempt was to advance. The way I understand and what I awarded was B1 1st base since in my opinion if the runner had continue advancing without any obstruction he would of been easily put out.


Tell me do we just have a typing difference or actual ruling difference on this type of play


Thanks
