Overrunning 1B - Obstruction

[Dakota]

I agree, Mike & Cecil, with a warning if I have any indication it is intentional... I haven't seen this (yet), but if it is being coached, I probably will. It doesn't take long for things to circulate in the JO travel ball world.

Let me clarify what I said. Mike, you didn't indicate what the runner did after the obstruction. I took your description to mean she could have made 2B, but didn't try due to the obstruction. If she makes any indication she is moving toward 2B, then I've got what I need to award 2B. However, if she just meekly returns to 1B, then, well, that's all she gets.

If this is coached behavior, it will probably be obvious because you'll see F9 stopping on the base line extended or in the way of a runner rounding toward 2B instead of getting in position to actually cover an overthrow.
