R1 on 2B, Advances on a batted ball to right field. R1 misses 3B and is obstructed on the way towards home. R1 is then tagged out, when returning to 3B. When the umpire declared a dead ball, the defense then appealed that R3 missed 3B. R1 would not have made it home had the obstruction not occurred. Whice of the following is correct:
a. R1 is out because 3B was missed.
b. R1 is awarded 3B on the obstruction and the appeal for missing 3B is nullified.
c. R1 is not out on the tag, but is called out on the appeal for missing 3B.
d. R1 is awarded home on the obstruction and the appeal
Okay, make the call!

The obstruction would protect the runner back to third base. I would call the runner out on the missed base appeal, not on the tag.
