With R1 on third base and trying to score on a steal or squeeze play, F2 obstructs the batter's swing.

RULING: This is defensive obstruction and R1 is awarded home. The batter is awarded first base.

COMMENT: If the catcher, or any other defensive player, obstructs the batter before he has become a batter-runner, the batter is awarded first base. If on such obstruction a runner is trying to score by a steal or a squeeze from third base, the play will be a delayed dead ball which results in the runner on third scoring and the batter being awarded first base. Runners not attempting to steal or not forced to advance remain on the bases occupied at the time of the obstruction.

OK Thanks.

Remember though that the OP was asking about a game under LL rules and it is 7.07 there.

The OP also asked whether the FED rule is different.
