Since this is modified OBR and not Little League, after the failed attempt to field the thrown ball, ask yourself where is the ball, if it's within reach of the fielder you've got nothing. If the ball is out of reach, then call the obstruction. If another player picks up the ball and tags the runner, you've got obstruction. I hope this helps.
