We cancel the out at home and score the run? I don't believe it.

Again, are we talking FED or OBR? In previous example there was no play being made on runner going to 1B (ie throw from RF to home), so in OBR the obstruction is called but no penalty. In FED he is awarded 1B and all runners are forced, which removes the out.
Two differences in your example. One, the throw is from 1B not RF, and the possibility of a play on the BR is very real, unlike earlier situation. So in this case, in FED or OBR the BR has been obstructed and there was a play on him so he is awarded 1B and all runners advance with no outs.
Believe.
