The only problem and maybe I am wrong on this is I thought at the time of obstruction the umpire is to make his up mind how far he is going to protect the runner and in the obstruction rule it states if the runner advances past that base then the obstruction is off and the runner is on there own. So in your play above when obstruction occurred I am most likely protecting the runner to 2nd once he passed that base and decided to advance on the errors he would be on his own
Tell me if a am wrong

Don,
You protect the runner to the base you believe s/he would have attained SAFELY had the obstruction not occurred. If the runner attempts to advance further, that is his/her prerogative to do so WITH liability to be put out.
