Multiple Obstructions

[MD Longhorn]

The 2nd OBS happened after the bobble - and taking that into consideration, the award was third.

Not sure how one would have a rule citation to prove a negative. The OBS rule tells you what to rule when you see obstruction. There's no language at all anywhere that one could even mildly infer that one should take something that happened before the OBS into account, and case plays tell us not to take something that happened after the OBS into account... so I think you'd need to cite a rule reference to backup an opinion that they should be cumulative.

ASA 8-5-B-4

EFFECT: The obstructed runner and all other runners shall always be awarded the base or bases which would have been reached, in the umpire’s judgment, had there been no obstruction.

In your own description, the judgment of the umpires was that had there been no obstruction, the runner would have scored.
