Batting average>OBP

I see this when playing games out. So far, I've only seen it in bases-loaded situations under opponent batting stats for the pitcher. Right now I'm looking at a pitcher who is listed as having an OBA of .417 with the bases loaded and an opponent OBP of .375. As a mere English major, I readily confess I have single-A math skills at best, but I can't think of one possible scenario in which a BA could be higher than an OBP. Equal - possible, but not higher.

Thanks for reviewing.
