This play cannot be obstruction as the player has possession of the ball.

Unless you are north of the border.
Softball Canada Rule 1 section 52.
c. A fielder with possesion of the ball may cause obstruction by:
1) Pushing a runner off base;
2) Impeding the progress of a runner while not in the act of making a play on the runner.
For my American friends, a question. Given that ASA precludes obstruction by a fielder in posession of the ball. What does you call when a fielder pushes a runner off base and tags them? USC and eject ?
