1) runner gets up and runs to 3rd base
2) runner touches 2nd then attempts for 3rd
Both cases the runner is thrown out in a close play at 3rd.
What do you call??

This is a no brainer for ASA, and I assume the same for Federation.
The runner was obstructed and would have reached 2B safely had the OBS not occurred. That is the award base.
Any subsequent action short of INT, missing a base or USC is irrelevant to the runner being protected between the two bases where she was obstructed.
