They gotta enter the dugout/db territory.

Since the defense is not trying to make a play on the BR, the BR can choose any path they want to get to 1B, as long as they do not enter the team area (dugout).

Shame on the F2 for not thinking to tag the BR at the time of appeal.

If a defensive player would have picked up the ball and made the throw to first base, would there have been obstruction? The runner had to dodge multiple defensive players on her way to the base, and runner was actually in the base-line/runner's lane for about the last half of the way to first. I know...its a big "what if", but I got to wondering about it.

From your post, it sounds like there could very possibly have been OBS. Did any of the defenders leaving the field cause the BR to deviate in her path to the base?

Was this game in NW Dallas? I had EXACTLY this recently (last Tuesday, I believe ... the last dry day in Texas forever apparently), and yes, I did have my arm out on the obstruction.

No, it wasn't anywhere near Texas.

Oh, yeah...she was doing some pretty good footwork to keep from running into the mob of defense that was heading for the first-base side dugout.
