What do you think of this?

The play at the plate happened literally seconds after the B/R was knocked down.

We had three officials on the field and all of us agreed that the out at home should be negated because it was after the delayed dead ball and the defense made no attempt to put out the man at first.

I still don't understand why you would have negated the out at home.

Its a delayed dead ball which means the ball is alive until the play if over. Once the play is over, BR is on first, the base he would have reached so you have no need to enforce obstruction.

Even then, in enforcing obstruction, it only affects those who are forced to advance because of the award to the obstructed runner.

The runner at home was on his own.

Thanks
