Batter hits a line drive to left center. No play at first. Batter runs down baseline and tries to step on the base but the 1st baseman is blocking the base. Kind of gives a little hip bump which knocks the runner towards the first base coach and he stumbles and falls to avaid any contact with the runner. Runner eventually regains her footing and runs towards 2nd getting tagged as she slides into the bag. Call is out. Very close play. Coaches appeal. And win - with the call being obstruction on the first baseman - BUT - they make the runner return to 1st. Correct? Not entirely sure what rule set as it is our little fall ball league.
The day before these same umps called our batter back to second after a great hit. The ball went almost to the far LF fence. It was fielded and WAY over thrown. Ball rolled into right field. RF went to throw the ball and "lost her grip" and the ball went over the temp fence into dead ball territory. Our runner was rounding 3rd as this happened. Ump called runner back to 2nd. Guess I'm confused on this one too as it almost looked like the girl purposely dropped the ball over the temp fence.
