Situation: Runners on 1st and third, runner from first attempts steal. Batter is called for obstruction (she does step into the catcher's way and bumps her, no doubt about the obstruction). Throw goes wide, runner from third crosses the plate. The Call: Batter is out, runner who was stealing second is allowed to stay at second, runner who was at third is sent back to third.
I always thought that the batter would remain at bat, the runner stealing second would be out, and as the ball is dead with the obstruction call the runner at third would remain there. But I admit that I am not sure enough of this call to take a stand on the issue (and I'm not a coach ). What is the correct call?
