EXCEPTION: Let's assume R1 was thrown out at third base by a MILE. In OBR Type "B" OBS, there is a phrase "award bases "If any" that nullify the OBS.

Therefore, in OBR Type "B" it's possible that you would not award any base in which case both outs would stand. However, in FED, a runner who is obstructed gets a minimum of a one base award no matter if he was out by a mile or a "whisker".

GREAT point Pete - I was going to mention that but I didn't want to confuse him. You explained it nicely!
