b.The umpire should signal a delayed dead ball when the obstruction occurs, call dead ball when R3 is tagged out, and award the runner third base
c.The umpire should signal a delayed dead ball when the obstruction occurs, call dead ball when R3 is tagged out, and award the runner home
d.None are correct e.The umpire should call dead ball immediately when the obstruction occurs, and award the runner third base

R3 is on third base and the infield is in for a potential play at the plate. B1 hits a ball sharply down the third base line. The batted ball strikes R3 while she is standing on third base. What should the umpire do? The assumption is this is a fair ball

a.Call an immediate dead ball for hitting R3. Award B1 first base and leave R3 on third.
b.Call an immediate dead ball for hitting R3. Award B1 first base and call R3 out.
c.Make no immediate call and the ball remains alive.
d.Call an immediate dead ball for hitting R3. Call both R3 and B1 out. e.None are correct

And be prepared for screaming from the OC on question 1....

I actually had the privilege of making that exact call in HOF Stadium a few years back.

Heard it from the entire 3B dugout until I told them one person for discussion.

Coach: What kind of call is that?
Me: OBS, third baseman
Coach: But she threw the ball to the catcher
Me: Correct and then failed to get out of the base path, runner had to go around her
Coach: But she just threw the ball to the catcher
Me: You are absolutely correct; And then she OBS the runner
Coach: But she threw...........

Guess he didn't like the smile on my face at that point in time and retreated to the dugout. Sometimes coaches provide some great entertainment.
