To add some extra details to the original post...

From what I remember, the runner was knocked to her bottom, looked at the umpire, got up, and ran to 3B. (Remember, this is 10U.)

The ball was hit about 6-10 feet behind second base. This was very shallow center.

The stop at 3B was about one or two seconds, long enough for her to realize that everyone was yelling for her to run home.

Unfotunaltely, I was watching the runner and so I didn't see if the umpire had a DDB signal or not.

I don't believe obstruction on F2 is a possibility. F2 had the ball about a full second before the runner got there, from what I remember.

Hope that clears up some things.
