See the play dont assume .
In my opinion you had the obstruction but to already decide its a 3 bagger .
What happens if the runner is tagged 1/2 way between 2nd and 3rd ? Would you give the out .
I would .
She cannot be put out between the bases she was obstructed
so safe between 1st and 2nd .
If in the umpires judgement she could have attained the next base then safe (this would have to be a close play )
Now the next obstruction puts the runner safe between 2nd and third.
Would she have made home if she was not obstructed .
Probably not but as she didnt try you dont have to worry about that .
She put herself in jeopardy by venturing past 3rd and I would have given her out .
However your last staement is the important one .
In you judgement if you think she would have scored then thats your answer . Safe at home . Big Call
