Man, you can come up with some, can't you?
I think I'm gonnna have to use what I think is the intent of the rule, her. I'm protecting her to 2nd, per your post. If she passes 2nd and goes to 3rd and is tagged, she woulda been out. If she has reached 2nd, the obstruction is cancelled and if she goes back to 1st after touching 2nd, the obstruction is off. If they tag her off the base, between 1st and 2nd I've got an out. I believe the rule is to prevent an advantage for the defense from the violation. It shouldn't cover confused base runners. Once the obstruction is cancelled, you don't reinstate it because she decides she likes 1st better than 2nd. Take the cheap out and thank the coach on the way back to 1st.
