Not the most logical rules lay out to follow however this is addressed in:
Rule 9, Section 1, p
"The ball is dead and not in play:
When a play is being made on an obstructed runner, or if the batter-runned is obstructed before he/she reaches 1st base."
Therefore dead ball at time of obstruction and consequently subsequent action did not happen.
On this play, my judgement award is 2nd and 3rd.
