On the play in question, it doesn't matter whether the collision caused her to miss the plate or not. OBS is OBS. Once she's tagged, it's a dead ball, and you award home.

Missed base would only apply if despite giving her the award, she NEVER touched home and went to the dugout. They could then appeal the miss.
Not tryin to hijack but want to clarify to myself through anudder example.....same sitch but at the collision R2 is injured to the extent that she cannot get to the plate. F2 tags her as she is motionless on the ground, immediate dead ball for OBS, awarded home. What should I do at this point; call time and beckon the trainer? Is the runner still obligated to physically tag the plate before being helped off the field?
