PLAY: R2 is obstructed by F6 between 2nd and 3rd on a base hit by B2. He is then thrown out at the plate:
(a) by 10 feet
(b) on a close play
We can't know at the moment of obstruction what our award will be -- 3rd or home.

This is incorrect. Baseball does teach that we should use post-obstruction evidence in determining an award. Softball does not.
