Obstruction Oddity

[RadioBlue]

I agree with Youngump. I've got an out in A & B as leaving early prior to the touch on a caught fly ball is one of the exceptions to a runner being protected between the bases where the obstruction occurred.

"C" is a little tougher, but I'm gonna say it comes down to umpire judgment. She is no longer protected between 3rd and home on the subsequent attempt to score (even though the obstruction occurred between 3B & HP) because she was required to tag up. However, she WAS obstructed. Now you need to ask yourself, "Did she get put out prior to reaching the base she would have reached had there been no obstruction?" But the tag up needs to come into the equation here. If you feel she could have retreated all the way to 2B and scored, then award home. Otherwise, the out stands.

Great sitch, BTW!
