Sitch: (NFHS) Bases loaded, 1 out. B/R obstructed by the catcher as he hits a ground ball to F4.

Forget about the MC. Let's assume F4 tagged out R1 and threw to F3 for an APPARENT inning ending DP.
Since all runners including the BR did not advance one base we enforce the CI or CO.
Since bases were juiced, R3 would advance home R2 to third base, R1 to second and the BR to first.
We would have bases juiced one out AFTER the CI or CO penalty was enforced.
Now in addition to the aforementioned we have an MC infraction on R1 so the FINAL result would be runners at the corners (BR to first, R2 to third) and 2 outs.
REMEMBER the defense committed an infraction and should be penalized. In FED the "TRUMP CARD" would be if the SAME runner ALSO committed an MC infraction which would SUPERCEDE the OBS. That is not the case here. It's not like the BR was obstructed, then took a few steps out of the box and took a swing at F2. Then the MC would supercede the CO infraction.
Enforce each infraction as they occur UNLESS as mentioned the SAME runner also committs an infraction as in the case of MC.
