How does a fielder with the ball commit obstruction?? I agree kinda hard. But you know what I have in this situation? A big fat nothing if the runner reaches third safely seeing as how F6 dropped the ball. Runner did not keep the fielder from making the play. His own teammate did. If by chance the runner was knocked down and tagged out as a result, due to the screw up by F5 in running into his guy I would call the obstruction since the runner was kept from getting to the base he is trying to get to because of the actions of a player not making a play on him.
