I truley believe you agree with the fact she goes back to first, you IMOHO are just trying to cause trouble because you are waterlogged LOL.

Let's say without the obstruction on the pickoff at first the runner re-aquirred first with no problem, and the ball got away. The runner then takes off for second without delay, and makes it standing up.....No Problem... Now when she tries to get back to first and IS obstructed, she is trying to get to the bag doesn't see that the ball has gotten by the firstbase person. Now as she is trying to get back to the base, she is delaying her advancement to second, and is out on a close play. The fact that she was obstructed delayed her decision to advance to second, even though if not obstructed she had no intention to advance. Therefore the obstruction caused her to be put out at second, because of the delay on her advance.

Did I splain that to your satisfaction????????

High in the 40's today with late rain. Softball is over, and I might not be able to play golf!!!!!!

First let me say I saw something today I have not seen in 12 days - and yes it was smiling brightly, Thank You.

Your s'planation was most commendable. You are partially correct. I was not trying to cause trouble, merely stirring the pot. .
Got a lot of good responses. As I stated on the other board to the originial
post, I did, twice, that I can remember make the call out at the advance base.
One I remember very well. Ball got by F3 just a few feet after R1 got back {there was OBS).
Coach hollars to R1 "get up and go, blue called OBS", R1 got up and went and
was thrown out. I ruled her out and give my splaination{grin}. Coach did not even
utter one word.

But as I stated on the other board, after you, Steve and others answered what I ask
there, I reviewed the rule pretty good and agree R1 would have been protected
until the ball was ruled dead. [reluctantly ]

Thanks,
