From J/R: R2, one out. The batter hits a pop fly to shallow right-center field. Misplayed, the ball drops amidst three fielders. R2 is unable to advance and has returned to second. The batter-runner rounds first agressively (c) and is obstructed, but continues to advance to second without hesitation. He is able to reach second, and jointly occupies it with R2, when both runners are tagged: the batter-runner (following runner) is out. He is required to realize that R2 has not advanced. The obstruction does not give him license to ignore the actions of his teammate while advancing.
