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)
No, this is the post. Do you see any mention of protection to a base other than 2B? Yes, I know the reference was to the protection provided by rule, but my point is that there doesn't seem to be an mention of protection on the play.

Maybe I'm misreading this. Or there is just a lack of information. However, failing to have additional information, it seems the way the play above is presented is that the award is being left open and is going to be based on whether the play at any base was going to be the deciding factor.
