Ball falls and rolls and F6 takes 3-4 steps to pick it up in front of her.
BU makes no signal. PU makes no signal. R1 comes home and R2 is at third and BR makes first safely.
Question is "step and a reach".... how does this apply to a vertical play like this.
We ended up ruling nothing on this. I (PU) was inclined to give OBS to R2, but was moot as she made 3rd easily.
Correct? Wrong? Comments? (I heard a few select ones from the defensive teams fans)

If all she had to do was a step and a reach to field this ball, vertical or not, then I have INT.
