Multiple Obstructions

[mbyron]

How about this, which happened last night: B1 grounds to F6, who throws high to F3. The ball is over F3's head and to the HP side of the base; he lands right in front of the runner, who collides with him. The ball ricocheted off the lip of the dugout steps (in play) and back into the infield.

What's the call? Assume NFHS rules (would OBR be different?).

I assume by "ricochet and back into the infield" you mean BR would have ended up at first without any obstruction.

That's the award in both FED and OBR -- the OBS was prior to first, so the minimum award is first.

On the OP, I agree with the "award home" answers.
