All you have here is a mess.
Once the runner gets to within the last stride, there can not be interference UNLESS they do something deliberate(lower the shoulder, throw hands in the air, ect). At that point, the offense has as much right to that base as the defense.
You see it all the time, it's called a "Mess". The offensive coach is going to complain that there is obstruction on the 1st baseperson while the defense is going to scream interference.
That is softball.
