Is there any reason, with regard to the OBS, to nullify the out?
For example, R1’s path looked like an attempt to score and the OBS impeded.

The only question I have is how big was the collision. Was she bumped off her stride then thrown out by 15-20 feet?. I have an out as she exceeded her protection. If she was knocked to the ground I can justify the 15-20 feet was listed as a result of going to the ground and I will award home plate.
