Passing an obstructed runner
ASA Championship Rules.
R1 on 2B, R2 on 1B. Two outs. B3 hits a deep shot over F8's head, and both runners take off. F6 collides with R1, knocking R1 to the ground. As R1 is on the ground, R2 rounds 2B, passes R1 (who is still on the ground), touches 3B, and crosses home plate, easily beating out the throw from F8. In the umpire's judgement, both R1 and R2 would have scored had the obstruction not occured.
Do you call an out on R2 for passing R1 or not? Do any runs score?
