Reply to "was this the right call?"

Bob is correct in that you can only grant protection to one fielder. I wasn't thinking along those lines because in the original sitch I got the impression that it was a catchable ball by F1 but not F2. However, if both have a shot then the umpire decides which gets the protection.
Same type of play but two fielders. Pop-up near the line and both F3 and F1 try for the ball. Ball is fair, F3 tries for the ball. At the same time F1 colides with the BR. If the ball is uncaught, then that's obstruction and BR is awarded first. Remember in HS it's a delayed deadball so other runners could be played on.
