Speaking FED......
2.36 SITUATION C: F2, (a) with the ball, or (b) without the ball, is blocking
home plate. R1 slides into F2 and is tagged out. RULING: In (a), R1 is out. In (b),the umpire would call obstruction and signal a delayed dead ball. The runner would be awarded the base, in the umpire's judgment, she would have received had there been no obstruction
Does not situation B fit orginal post?
