I'm putting R1 on third because she was obstructed between 2nd and 3rd and would have reached third had she not been obstructed. The missed throw happened after the obstruction. True, the runner caused the fielder to go down, but since we don't have anything malicious, then I can't have interference when the defenseive player had no right to obstruct the runner. The only way I would have the runner out for interference is if another act of interference occurred after the result of the original obstruction.
