or bases which would have been reached, in the umpires judgement.
Knew that part.

That's my confusion, because the case implies she didn't even try.

was OBS going back to 1B, just that during rundown she was OBS again. Regardless, she could not have been called out between 1st and 2nd.
By "OBS preventing a return to 1st", I meant she was in the rundown because of the original OBS causing her to stumble and not get back to 1st before the initial throw from F6 (Before B3 can get back to first base, F6 throws the ball to first base to get B3 in a rundown).
