I'm hoping that some of you are here to partake in the abundance of actual rules knowledge available to you as a resource on this forum.
What part of "a runner may not be called out between the two bases where obstructed" (aside from a few very specific instances) is confusing you?
We'll try to help you out.

cuz she was obstructed between home and 1st. I treat it like F3 flipped her over even though she managed to physically come in contact with 1st base, I'm still protecting her until she has gained solid control of 1st base. If she wants to go for 2nd on her own, that's at her own peril. If the fielder tackles her between 1st and 2nd, i'll give her 2nd and eject the fielder.
