Pickle obstruction with Batter runner advancing

[Robert E. Harrison]

Fed rules, R2 and batter hits ground ball to F4 and he throws to F6 to get R2 in pickle. Obstruction called on F6 with Batter runner half way between 1st and 2nd headed to 2nd when obstruction is called. R2 gets 3rd.
Does the batter runner get 2nd or back to 1st.

Wherever he ends up because the ball remains live.

Obstruction was called just before that tag was applied by F6.
Batter runner had not reach 2nd at the time of the tag.

In FED the ball does not become dead until playing action is over so you just let things play out and make any awards after that.

Right, Rich. Only the obstructed runner is guaranteed 1 base advance. Other runners end up where they end up.

On the tag for the 3rd out, the defense (and sometimes the offense) is running off the field. How do you handle that?
