Here's my question...

Let's say that the ball does drop, and the runner retreats to first, and we still have obstruction, and in my judgement, he wouldn't have reached 2nd without the obstruction...do we award him 2B based upon the "award an additional base" provision in the obstruction rule???

Thanks guys.

Under FED, yes. Under OBR, no.
