No matter where she runs, she can't be put out between 1B and 2B. ASA gives a case play (don't have the number with me) in which a runner is obstructed in a rundown between 3B and home but makes it safely back to 3B anyway on a wild throw. Then the runner tries to score and is put out trying to reach home.
The ASA ruling is that he can't be put out between 3B and home, so he is placed on 3B.
His safe return to 3B after the OBS did not cancel his protection between 3B and home.
It might be argued that whenever a runner is obstructed and makes it safely back to the preceding of the two bases between which he was obstructed, he might as well try to advance anyway, since there's always the chance that the defense will throw the ball away—and he can't be put out.
