R1 on 1B, B2 bunts, F1 fields bunt and throws out B2 at 1B. R1 continues on to 3B. F5 retreats towards 3B, getting in R1's way. R1 stay on her feet and collides with F5 (not maliciously). Both go down and throw from F3 sails past into foul territory.

R1 gets up, tags 3B and starts for home, but F7 fields the ball and makes a good throw home. R1 retreats safely to 3B.

OK, you have obstruction; and you believe that R1 could have made it to home had she not been obstructed. Send her home?

OTOH, if R1 had not knocked F5 down (if she had deviated or slid), F5 would have caught the ball and you would have been protecting R1 to 3B.

So where are you putting R1? And why?
