OP states BR was trying to reach 1B. The OBS occurred prior to BR reaching 1B
[quote]F1 fielded it and threw to F3, but the throw was down by the BR's feet.
Between F3 reaching for the ball and B4 trying to get to 1B, there was a collision and both players went down. The ball caromed off the players to the fence. As B4 tried to get up to go to 2B, she was OBS by F3 trying to chase down the loose ball.
At that point I called OBS. R1 rounded third and headed for home when she saw the ball go to the fence.

I don't read any chance of the runner reaching 2nd, so why award 2nd?

Didn't say award R4 2B, but she ran out of protection once she touched 1B and headed toward 2B.
