I believe you are reading too much in to the rule. An umpire judged that she was obstructed and awarded her home. After the play was ruled dead the player should be given the oppurtunity to touch the plate unless she entered the dug out (dead area) and the defense appealed her missing the plate.

Sure would be nice to know whom you believe is reading too much into the rule.

After ball is dead there is no doubt that the runner is out if properly appealed. I see IrishMafia's point about the continous play. Could be an interesting situation to occur.

I think the only thing for sure that is going to happen, one coach is probably going to the parking lot
