Bfair,..There is, however, no mandatory award to R1 as a result of the obstruction.
If obstruction occured at 2nd, R1 would be awarded 2nd because 1st was the last legally touched base. This may come into play if R1 was tagged out on his return to 2nd. However, in this situation, without having seen it, I believe all would award 3rd, thereby using the "automatic" award of 2nd. The award of 3rd, and possibly home, would fall into that umpires judgement area. (I think, at least thats how I would have called it)
Dave, BTW I am softball also, as well as baseball, you ought to give baseball a shot, it is as fun as fastpitch, to me anyway. You didn't say in post what was reaction from coaches, I'm sure there was some. Just curious about that.
