All runners score and the batter ends up on 3rd.
The ruling on the field, no interference or obstruction, all runs score play ball.

This was incorrect. Int. would have been a just call for these two OTM's "intentionally choosing to not do" what the rules clearly say they must.
But one thing is true, it was not "obstruction"
