Lets look at this obstruction thing posted by SamC.
QUOTE SamC
"Now here's a philosophical question, on a pickoff attempt at 1st by F2, F3 obstructs the runner, by dropping to her knee in front of the bag well before the ball arrives, but in doing so, she is unable to catch the ball which ends up rolling down the 1st base line. R1 hops up and heads for 2nd, but an alert F9 chases down the ball and throws to F6 who tags R1 out on a VERY close play. So what do you do with R1?" I am saying this is strictly a pickoff attempt, R1 not thinking of stealing.

If F2 threw the ball to F3 wouldnt this be WITHEN the area of a catch and play? and if contact occus it would be neither obstruction or interference? Ball live runner going to second is out on the play.
