2. When an obstructed runner is tagged out between the two bases where the obstruction occurred, the ball is immediately dead. He is awarded the base he would have reached had he not been obstructed.

3. No verbal.

Just wanted to confirm the statement: '...2. When an obstructed runner is tagged out between the two bases where the obstruction occurred, the ball is immediately dead. He is awarded the base he would have reached had he not been obstructed....'

Is the ball truly dead immediately upon the 'tag'? What happens if there's other activity going on with the other runners ahead of this one?

Other than that this all makes sense...thanks
