Obstruction
I need to beat this dead horse, to see if my distinguished partner and I got it right...
Grounder to F6, throw pulls F3 to her right, and gets past her. BR rounds 1B, collides with F3, knows F9 is right there backing up the throw, and gives up (she walks safely back towards 1B).
But before touching 1B... seeing my outstretched arm, OC yells for BR to go to 2B, which she does, and is thrown out by 10'.
Gun to my head, I can't swear I dropped my arm as soon as she gave up the first time, but I know it wasn't out as I ran along the baseline with her towards 2B.
I had her out, not protected back to 1B, partner strongly agreed (postgame discussion).
Should I have a clear conscience here? What is the mechanic for "clearing" an OB call when the situation calls for it, and did her "giving up" call for it?
