Therefore dead ball at time of obstruction and consequently subsequent action did not happen.

On this play, my judgement award is 2nd and 3rd.
IMO, you are misapplying the rule based upon a description of when a ball is declared dead.

In the OP, there was no play on an OBS runner until the attempted play at 2B which occurred after the previous runner scored.
