Certainly.

In every case, the award for obstruction is the base they would have earned if not obstructed. The exception is when forced to advance (not the case here). If she would not be safe at second, return her to first.

The issue you will have selling that is if the play is bang-bang; you almost have to assume she was hindered enough to award the next base. If dead out, certainly you can return her.
