Obstructed runner and all other runners gets whatever base you feel they would have got had he not been obstructed, in this case third, a minimum of one base beyond his position on base when the obstuction occurred. By the letter of the law 2nd was the last base held before the obstruction so no additional bases are awarded. If he was still applying the tag when he touched third I'd be sending him home.
Also, this is unsportmanlike conduct, so I'd be issuing warnings.
