Bluezebra is correct: Fed always advances the runner a base, not differentiating between types of obstruction. But in certain situations (e.g., runner rounds 1B, contacts F3, no real attempt to advance evident, no play on the runner), umps routinely disregard the book and keep him at 1B.

Of course, in the play that started this thread, the award would still be just 2B.
