Obstruction ignored?
Runner on first. Batter hits one in the gap. First baseman and batter/runner make contact as he rounds first on the way to second. Batter/runner ends up on second and R1 stops at third.
Is the obstruction by the first baseman ignored because the batter/runner achieved the base he was attempting to acquire? Thanks |

I'm referring here to OBR-based rules. I think the Fed (high school) rule is slightly different. Okay, I took my shot; everyone else can start picking this apart. |

In this case, if you judged that the runner would have acquired 2B (which was also his advance base), no additional award would be appropriate under FED rules.

If there is obstruction on a following runner, the position of the lead runner may end up determining where the obstructed runner will be placed.

I think what Bob is saying is that if you feel a B/R need be awarded 2B on the play and R2 is there already, you can award him 3B to "open" up that base to award the B/R 2B.

I would be careful if I was you. If you have read one of my other threads Umpire Shirts (like I would ask about another kind) you could tell that I tend to like chicken dinners. (any type of dinner works well with me though really)

That's where I'm confused. How can I think an obstructed BR would have attained second base when a preceding unobstructed runner is camped out there?

R1. Batter hits a "sure double." He doesn't see R1 returning to second in the belief that R2 missed the base. F3 obstructs BR as BR rounds first. Put BR on second and advance R1 to third. |

Award is minimum of one base. Technically (maybe if the contact with F3 is really big and knocks the runner down to the point where it can't be ignored) you could force the runner from second to third in order to award the base to the B/R. I would be hesitant to do so but maybe in that situation I might.

FED OBS, while similar to OBR Type B, has a one base award beyond what they've already achieved attached to it. Am I interpreting that correctly?
