On a play when a base dislodges, I would
treat it like any other play. I would never
call Time until all continuous action on that
play has stopped.
A player CAN be called out when a base dislodges,
on the first tag only. If he is Safe, he
cannot be tagged for not having contact with
the dislodged base.
If the ball gets away, and following runners
advance, they just have to touch where the
base would be if it were in place(or the base itself).
A dislodged base does NOT mean that following runners can't
be tagged out at that base. It is only on the
initial play.
There is no awarding of bases (unless,
of course, the ball goes out of play),
and certainly no such thing as "base obstruction."
Until ALL action has stopped (and Time has been
called), the runners go at their own risk.
