Rule 8.5.B.1 & POE 35 specifically state that it cannot happen.
BTW, there are no such animals as 8-K or 5-B.3 in ASA's book.

But Mike, the obstructed runner was not "put out before reaching the base she would have reached, in the umpire's judgement, had the obstruction not occurred." I think that, with the situation given, she would have reached second base. She continued past second before turning around and retreating to first.
So why still protect her?

When this happens, is the force reinstated? Yes. Is a runner awarded two from their position at the time of the throw into DBT regardless the direction they are running or what base(s) they need to touch? Of course.
So, why would you think this is different? The rule is specific.
