I read the OP as this: B/R had an easy double. Rounding 1B, F3 obstructed her and she was knocked to the ground. BU signalled DDB and stated obstruction. B/R returned to 1B.

BU ruled that B/R would have achieved 2B and awarded her such.

ASA 8.5.B

I can't find anywhere in my ASA rulebook that states if the obstructed runner returns to a base, the obstruction is ignored. Please provide a rule cite when you can get at your rulebook.

BTW - I would have waited until the ball was in the circle to kill it as well.
