Dash,
You are employing "backwards logic".
The pertinent rules for determining "when" to kill it to make the award are:
2-22-1 ...When obstruction occurs, the ball becomes dead at the end of playing action....
and
2-29-1 ...a unit of action which ... ends when ball becomes dead or pitcher again holds the ball while in pitching position
If there is a "loose ball" on the field and viable runners, the playing action has not ended.
