| April 29, 2015 umpire 14 8 posts | obstructed base No need to use the umpire has authority to make decisions on rules not covered for this play. On any obstruction call the runner is awarded the base , in the unpires judgement that he would have made if the obstruction had not occurred. In this play, since the runner went on to third base he could be safe there also if the umpires judgement was that he would have reached third. Missing second base on this play is mute, the runner certainly would have been safe there. |
