Really think I would have to see the play
The runner didn't advance to 3rd because of the obstruction. The runner was able to attempt an advance to 3rd because of the bad throw from the catcher. The runner was not obstructed going to 3rd but on the way into 2nd. The original base being stolen was 2nd. The runner made a new decision after the play at 2nd and newly decided to try for 3rd because of the overthrow.
I say the runner was not protected to 3rd and that the defense made a good recovery. Runner is out.
But still, to see the play rather than try to guess at the minor points and make a firm decision, is really needed.
