My issue is really whether or not the two events are independent of each other or if the obstruction has precedence over the interference. The rule book doesn't really explain what happens if you have both |

RULING: Umpire shall signal a delayed dead ball when the infraction by F5 occurs. At the conclusion of playing action, he declares the ball dead, then awards home to R1 and allows R2 to remain at third. The play is not the same, but the mechanics of calling DDB should be. Thoughts, anyone? |

Big,
If this were an OBR game then Tex has given you the proper call. What started out as type B obstruction became type A as soon as R1 was played upon. This is a dead ball and R1 is awarded third. All other runners are awarded bases, if any, that will nullify the act of obstruction. Tim. |

As for the OP, it is apparent that there are two differing codes regarding OBS: 1. Call DDB. Let play continue until all action is over. 2. Call DDB. Let play continue until all action is over OR the obstructed runner is put out before his/her protection is removed. In the former, the lead runner would be out on INT and the other returned to 1B. In the latter, the play would be killed as soon as the lead runner was 'out'. Runners would then be awarded bases. Since the ball was dead, there was no INT, so no outs. Personally, the latter makes more sense to me. |
