The Play:
Runner attempts to steal second, throw from catcher is money, SS catches ball (runner about 2/3 the way to 2nd) moves up line approx 2-3 feet and tags runner out. Call on the field was Shortstop Obstruction runner safe.
Explanation:
Runner must have access to all 4 corners of the base and if the runner has to deviate her path whatsoever then its obstruction... This is, according to the umpire, a new rule.. My guess is that they are misunderstanding this "new rule".
