OBS Question
Can an umpire change what he is going to award on an OBS based on the actions of a runner after the OBS?
Example to hopefully clarify:
B1 hits and there is an overthrow at 1B which goes to RF fence. BR is obstructed by F4 as she heads towards 2B and umpire thinks she would make home. Rounding 2B, BR trips over the bag or trips over her own feet, unrelated to the OBS. Now she picks herself up and staggers back to 2B because ball is now coming back.
Do you award her home or, since she fell unrelated to the OBS, leave her where she is or maybe give her 3B instead?
Just curious....hopefully you understand what I'm trying to say
