DDB signal; if verbal it is very quiet; "Out" @ 2B; Time; Announce the OBS, award OBS runner home and announce that the run scores.

I'm having a little difficulty in an obstruction call away from a play and the mechanics involved. Let's say the runner went back to 3rd. Would you then award them home because in your judgment that's where you think they'd have been even though they went back to 3rd?

You ALWAYS award the runner the base you believe they would have made had the OBS not occurred.
