| The runner on first base is stealing on the first pitch to the next batter. The throw from the catcher is slightly right of second base but is secured by the shortstop before the runner reaches the base. As the runner slides into the shortstop, she dislodges the ball but becomes tangled up with the Shortstop. As the shortstop is lying on top of the runner, she reaches for the ball, secures it and tags the runner who is unable to reach second base. Is the shortstop guilty of obstruction?

| She blocked the bag/runner without possession of the ball. Clearly, obstruction.

| Pretty easy. I agree with Greg. Can't block without the ball.
