Sorry the the second rule question but trying to determine best way to coach the kids. This was NSA but usually play UTrip
R1, line drive down left field line.
As runner rounds second she runs into SS. Because of this delay she does not continue to 3rd. BU raised his hand immediately for obstruction. It's a tough situation for the runner because she would have made it easily with no obstruction, but after being stopped would have likely been thrown out. I'm not really sure if it's a good move for them to look around to see if the umps arm is raised before going to the next base.
My question is can he award her 3rd or does she have to make a second attempt to get there?
