One more that I had recently

this caused a lot of fan complaints, but not from the dugout. R1 on second, R2 on first. B3 hits a single to LF. R2 rounds third and comes home. the throw comes in and beats R1 to the plate. R1 slides (legally), and the ball comes out of F1's glove landing between her knees. F1's slide leaves her a foot short of the plate, with F1 blocking her access to the plate. She attempt to reach forward and touch the plate with her foot, but is prevented from doing so. F1 then realizes the ball is between her legs, and as R1 tries again to touch the base, which is still between her legs, F1 grabs the ball and tags R1.

I rule this obstruction, as F1 was blocking the plate while not in possession of the ball, and her position blocked R1's second attempt to touch the plate, after the initial slide was short (due to F1, blocking the plate while in possession of the ball). I award R1 home plate on the play.
