base awards on obstruction

[Okblu]

I believe, correct me if i'm wrong because I don't have my rule book with me, it is a delayed dead ball. If the the runner is safe on the play made by F2, the ball would be declared dead and the runner called out for the interference. If the runner is out on the play made by F2, the runner is out and according to FED rules, the interference is ignored(I HATE that word.) I use FED rules because that's what is used in OK.

I don't understand what part of the two previous rules I showed you in your last thread that you don't get. I'll post them again.

8-4-2(g)

If, in the judgement of the umpire, a runner including the batter-runner interferes in any way and prevents a double play anywhere, two shall be declared out (the runner who interfered and the other runner involved).


6-3-5 Penalty

For infraction of article 5: When there are two outs, the batter is out. When there are not two outs and a runner is advancing to homeplate, if the runner is tagged out, the ball remains alive and the interference is ignored. Otherwise, the ball is dead and the runner is called out. When an attempt to put out a runner at any other base is unsuccessful, the batter is out and all runners must return to bases occupied at the time of the pitch.
