Question on obstruction

[Duke]

One thing I like to say is that there is no "award" for obstruction. You are simply protecting the runner to the base they would have made had there been no obstruction. You (I) hear it a lot from a coach that "my runner was obstructed so she should be 'awarded' 3B." No coach, in my judgement she would not have made 3B had the obstruction not occurred, therefor she remains on 2B.
