Short pop-up to pitcher is dropped, 1B hesitates going to cover, but gets to bag in plenty of time. Batter runs over 1B in fair territory, knocking her down and the ball from her glove. Runner is awarded 2nd on an obstruction call.
Opposing coach is UIC and disagrees with the call, but we both agree to let the ump have the call she wants.
I didn't make the proper appeal then, but does the batter-runner have full entitlement to the base or are they required to go for the safety bag in order to avoid the collision?
