I must have called OBS 8 or 9 times. The girl's coach asked about it, but if he spoke to her about it, she didn't change her method of blocking the base.
Never did have to call any OBS on base hits. Both F3s cleared the base for runners to advance.

That coach is not a good coach especially if he is willing to allow his player to risk injury by intentionally violating a rule.
