What is the call?

Define more clearly what you mean by "while rounding" -- where the obstruction occurred.
If the obstruction was after R1 reached third, then I agree with Pete and FitUmp.
If the oabstruction was prior to R1 reaching third, and you think R1 would have scored absent the obstruction, then I agree with Pete and FitUmp.
If, however, the obstruction was prior to R1 reaching third and you were only protecting R1 to third, then the play stands. Since two runners are on the same base the trail runner (BR in this instance) is out when tagged.
