obstruction case play
We "discussed" this last June, but I still have some uncertainty about the base awards. I will post the two questions separately, but here is the play.
Play: R1 is on 1B with two outs. B4 hits the ball to the outfield and it rolls past the outfielders to the fence.
R1 rounds 2B and is obstructed by F6 and goes down to the ground unable to resume running the bases. Obstruction was called.
B4 passes R1 and is thrown out at the plate for the third out. No ruling was made until the out was made at the plate.
Ruling: When R1 was obstructed the umpire would signal delayed dead ball. There are two possible rulings.
Please only respond to the following posts, not this one, to be clear about the two sets of possibilities.
USA RULES !

EDIT 12/28 10:02
I should have identified the source as Plays and Clarifications from March 2016.
The "One" and "Two" are the USA(ASA) rulings in the same source.
