Fielder in possession of the ball can block the basepath all day. Only thing that has me thinking is once she makes the throw, if she is still in the baseline and the runner has not yet passed her (in other words the runner is still being obstructed), can you then call obs.? Is this a situation where the fielder just can't vanish and barring intent, play on? Do you kill the play and award third (even though if she is stopped behind the fielder when F6 had possession and clearly would not have reached 3B anyway)?
As of now, I'd let the out stand.
