In the above post she cannot be out. If the obstruction happens prior to BR reaching first, the play is dead and obstruction awards are made. Subsequent out cannot take place.
What are you talking about??? (in bold) The OBS happened before first base and she is protected to first. Now if my "what-if" scenario she decides to continue on to second and is tag out, and in my judgment she would not have made second, she's out.
Pretty simple - well that is if other rule sets are the same.
In NSA, "The ball is dead and not in play p. When a play is being made on an obstructed runner, or if the batter-runner is obstructed before he/she reaches first base."
In your example you said no protection past first because obstruction was before first. If so the play is dead.
Is this unique to NSA??
PS: I do not know how to show quotes from previous posts in blue like many of you do. Sorry - it would make it easier to read, but.......
