Well, I thought the shot from the LF line clearly showed the runner moving to the right when she saw where the catcher was setting up.

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

I was referring to the play at 2nd:
"Other was a throw from cather (OU) to 2B where R1 (AZ) was caught sleeping getting back to 2B. Threw her out. U1 called OBS and awarded her 2B. 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."
