Sal's nailed this one. In order for you to have type A obstruction the defense has to be making a play on the runner at the time of the obstruction or the batter-runner needs to be obstructed before reaching first base. Here in the play presented the obstruction occured prior to a play being made on the runner so it's definetely type B. This should be a delayed dead ball and the obstructed runner should be protected to third. However, if you felt the obstruction was so flagrant that he could have acquired home absent the obstruction then you would award him home. The trailing runner advanced and put himself in jeapordy so that out stands.
