First place she wasn't getting home to begin with and secondly I do not believe this is obstruction since fielder is trying to move to receive the throw that is on the way. Please advise.

As one of my old bosses used to say......."It it good to be King"......pure umpire judgement..........
HTBT as far as the award.......but I am not going to take away anything from the umpire in question. He/she saw something
