OC wants obstruction, DC points out there was not one, but two intervening plays after the OBS.
Triple play?
I guess this is a HTBT situation. Too many elements are missing from the discussion to say if this should be an award at home, an out, or something else. We don't know the how the playing action unfolded to determine if the runner should be protected home.

Thankfully softball games are played on the field and not online.
