More specifically (grammar can always be an issue, as you took the phrase out of context), it is a reference to the two types of obstruction (when rounding or returning to a base) that NCAA addresses differently; with a warning to the player on a first offense, and an automatic forward base award if the same player commits a second offense.
It is presumed that these, by their nature, are intentional acts, not the random accident which should only be negated; so there should be a more punitive response.
