This happened in a baseball game this weekend and I know this is a softball forum, but alot of rules are similar in baseball and softball
Runner in a pickle (run down) between 3rd and home. about the whole team is involved, during the run down the catcher is chasing the runner. catcher throws to teammate and stands there. runner runs into catcher. they are belly to belly. after a couple more throws the runner is tagged out. Is this obstruction on the defensive team and the runner gets home. the umpire was not sure of the call so made none. I questioned the umpire about obstruction and he said after the game he was not sure of the call. At least the ump was honest.
