Obstruction question

Other occurences might happen:

1. The runner may hear you call "obstruction" and advance thinking he's protected yet if he draws an errant throw he could go beyond 2nd, or
   
2. He could attempt return to 1st and be caught in a rundown resulting in his dive attempt into 2nd base for an out. In that case, I'd enforce the type B obstruction and return him to first---the base I would have protected him back to as a result of the obstruction.

Just my opinion,

Steve,

In your situation #2, the rundown, I always thought that as soon as the runner gets hung up in the pickle, you call time immediately and make the base award without waiting to see the result of the rundown; wpeaking OBR of course.
