My question is if the runner stopped running because she felt the tag of the glove, could you call obstruction?
in this play, the umpire did not make the out call until the runner was touched with the ball.
the umpire ruled the runner out on the play.

I've got a DMR (Dumb Move, Runner) and an out. Fielder had the ball, so there's no OBS. By rule, this is not a fake tag (See Rule 1 - Definition of Fake Tag and Rule 8-5-4-C).

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
