On OBS.
Is the runner only protected between the bases the OBS occured?
R1 is on first.
Batter hits ball to F7
F4 OBS her on the way to 2nd.
R1 still makes it to 2nd but the throw from F7 is bad.
R1 heads to 3rd but is taged out.
Whats the ruling?
Is this enough information?
Thanks

Speaking ASA, with RadioBlue on this one. The runner is protected to whatever base the umpire believed would have happened had the OBS not occurred at the time of the OBS. Subsequent plays are just that and should not affect the award/protection. Player always has the ability and right to attempt to go farther, but does so outside of the alloted protection.
