That is right .
Also remember the other part of the obs rule .
The runner is awarded the base they would have reached had they not been obstructed .
Hence protected between 1st and 2nd but on a close play at third also safe (Also safe had the gone home and tagged sliding into home)
There is still a penalty against the defensive team and for "Softballmom" she can promote aggressive base running .
As we know aggressive base running puts pressure on the defense ( and Umps) and can win games .
