Drawing the OBS call

[RKBUmp]

If they get bumped, signal it, let them run and if they get thrown out and 2nd, just put them right back at 1st. Its not a free pass, just means they cant be put out between the 2 bases. I had one the other day, batter/runner rounded a little far, brushed shoulders with F3, I signaled obstruction, runner wasnt paying much attention and F6 fired to F3 who tagged her out. I called dead ball, put her back at 1st and here came coach wanting to know why she wasnt being awarded 2nd on the obstruction.

Wade,

I saw it last night twice and ruled the 2nd one USC. Warning to player. The contact was intentional but I ruled it of minor nature (Federation).

Someone will get hurt by this action.
