If the umpire declares the hindrance intentional, the following penalty shall
apply: With less than two out, the umpire shall declare both the runner and batter out.
(b.s) Offensive obstruction: OO shall be ruled when a batter hits weakly into a routine DP with runners on 1st, 1st and 2nd or 1st and 3rd or when bases are loaded (he has obstructed his teams runner/s, he is a rally killer), or if runner from 2nd runs so poorly that he can't even protect his batter and following runners by stretching the defense by employing aggressive baserunning tactics. The umpire shall signal time, and announce that's "Offensive Obstruction" and everyone is out.
HTBT; but it sounds as if blue was 0 fer 2 on this play, 1. thinking this was something (interference?), secondly calling it Obstruction.
Sheesh
