ASA Play
Bottom of 7th, tied score. Runnerish R1 on 2B, 1 out. R1 is off with the pitch. Catcher is anxious and lunges forward across the plate in an effort to get the pitch quickly in an attempt to throw out R1.
The hurried throw gets past F5 and R1 scores the apparent winning run. How is the Catcher's Obstruction handled?
