Should have knocked on wood

If so, might not be OBS, in fact might be INT if runner collided or knocked the ball loose while upright.

No, F5 never caught the ball as it bounced off the end of her glove as she attempted to make the catch. The ball bounced into left field, but was backed up by the left fielder, thus no attempt was made by the runner to advance home. Since I did call obstruction when the play had ended I did "award" third base, just so the coach (one of whom was a baseball coach) did not think the runner should get home.
