Obstruction ruling
Batter hits sharp line drive base hit toward F7 who doesn't cleanly pick it up and boots it into the gap. F3 is in runners way rounding 1B, BR slows down and has grazing contact with F3 as F3 belatedly tries to get out of the basepath. BR continues to 2B and rounds it and slows down to stop. At this time F7 has the ball and 1B coach seeing my left arm out yells "keep going." BR restarts toward 3B and is out by at least 10 feet. How do you rule? Award 3B or not?
