Batter hits a ball into the outfield, the first baseman gets in the basepath while the batter is rounding first. Batter retreats to first base, and when time is called, awards the batter second base due to the obstruction. I can't find a way to score this in iScore. If I give the batter a single, I don't see any way to move the batter over to second base due to obstruction. The closest I can think of would be to give the first baseman an error as the explanation for how the runner got to second base.

On the other hand, the theory of awarding the batter second base is that the umpire feels he would have reached there without the obstruction. In that case, perhaps awarding the batter a double makes sense -- why should the batter be punished for the fielder's obstruction?

Thoughts?

If you decide not to use double (maybe scorer's judgment on whether it should have been a double), you can use Single, then Safe at Second with Advanced by Batter or Held Up, and just put a note on the play saying it was a fielder's obstruction. There is not a statistic to be tracked in that case, so it is really just a notation.
