my best suggestion, always answer true unless it is false.

I am not ASA, but does the word "easily" give you enuff for what you need?

I’m think’n there isn’t enough information. Was obstruction called and DDB signaled? Did runner get up and go home? Did runner stay on ground?
If there isn’t information missing I’m think’n this is a great question. I can’t find anything on this but that’s me.

My ruling if I had to use the knowledge instantly on the field, and my logic cuz I can’t find anything: Run scores cuz defense can’t benefit by knocking down a runner and getting an out somewhere else, no matter the timing, to prevent the run from scoring. It would have been, my judgment, the run scored before the out was made at second.....or, after play is over tell'm rrun would have scored had they not been obstructed and it would have scored before the out at 2nd.
Am I completely wrong here? If my logic’s wrong, where?
Thanks………..
