Now if the fielder didnt make an attempt to get off the runner, basiclly holding the runner down while grabbing the ball, i would award the base.
Thats not an easy call either way i would be OK with it being called either way again as long as no obvious intent was seen.

No, if the defender doesn't of possession of ball, it is OBS.
