Hope that helps.

Which brings up something I hadn't had to think about until last Sunday.
That is how the award affects the preceeding or following runners.
Basically, an obstruction award can "push" a
preceeding runner forward or a
following runner back.
So R1 on 1st.
B2 hits to outfield.
R1 obstructed between 2nd and 3rd, subsequently thrown out at 3rd as BR comes into 2nd.
Judgement was that R1 would NOT have attained 3rd absent the obstruction.
R1 placed on 2nd, BR returns to 1st.
Correct placement?
