Obstruction?

[paulsimko]

Passed ball (u-12 rec league girls)....runner from 3rd tries to score...catcher goes and gets ball (only a few feet behind her) and runs towards the plate and lunges/falls over the plate...the ball is in her throwing hand and her glove hand is extended breaking her fall and landing right in front of the plate..the runner slides into the glove, blocked from the plate, and the girls buts the tag on her with the ball.....obstruction?
