OK let me rewrite the sitch in more detail and change some things so perhaps my point will get across. It is possible that my point has already gotten across, and I don't know it, but hear me out.
R1. BR hits fly ball to RF which appears as though it will be caught. R1 stays close to bag. BR closes in on him. RF misplays the ball and it lands over his head. Both R1 and BR head for 2B. R1 is obstucted by F6 as he rounds 2nd. This causes BR to pass and continue to 3rd. At this point the ball was coming back into the infield, and you feel the protection that will nullify the act of OBS is R1 to 3rd.
BR is now ahead of R1. There is a play at 3rd and the ball squirts away from F5.
BR advances home. R1 is still standing on 2nd. Play is over.
R1 to 3rd on your OBS. BR's run is good.
Is this correct?
