Like I said, I did not expect an OBS call to be made in this circumstance.

IMO, granted I see crimson and creme, thought the runner had a clear lane back to the bag as 2B was straddling bag. Thought it shouldn't have been called"

and I thought gm was also:

Saw the game but didn't see that particular play. Doesn't sound like OBS to me, either. Even under ASA's stricter rule, if the runner didn't slow down or alter her stride or have to avoid, there's no OBS. From the description, it's hard to believe this qualified under NCAA rules."

gm's post was before your tangent to another play, responding to the OP

Talking head is making an excuse saying it wasn't intentional. Idiot.
