Scenario :
R1 at 2nd and R2 at 1st with 1 out. B1 hits the ball hard upbth÷ middle to the SS side of 2nd base. SS when ball is hit her angle to the ball takes her into the baseline where her and R2 collide. Because of how hard the ball was hit we being the defensive coaches realize that our SS would not have made a play on the ball so it was obviously obstruction.
After talking with the home plate umpire the base umpire awarded the runner 3rd base and home.
Was this the correct call?
