People often complain that the NCAA rule book is too long and goes into too much detail. Though that may be true in same cases, it works well here:
Base awards should be made even after the third out of an inning and if an obstructed base runner would have scored before the third out, the run would score on the base award.
A.R. 9.3.1: Two outs with a base runner on second base on a base hit to the outfield. The base runner is obstructed rounding third base. The ball is thrown home (even though there was no play) and on the throw, the batter-runner attempts to advance to second base but is thrown out for the third out of the inning. RULING: The base runner is awarded home and the run scores if the umpires judge she would have scored but for the obstruction.
