Ken,
I really strongly agree with Scott - it sounds like you kicked this one badly. You called obstruction, stay with it and once the runner was tagged out, you now have an immediate dead ball and then award the runner the base. Remember, you had no other play jump in there and this runner never went beyond home, so the protection is still there.

Edit:
I'm rephrasing the last sentence to clarify
Remember, you had no other play jump in there and this runner was knocked beyond home by the obstruction (not by her just passing the plate), so the protection is still there.
