OP didn't state "running hard", OP stated would have easily scored. Would she have easily scored because the throw came into 2nd base or because she was moving well enough to beat the throw? Would she have beaten the dead ball call at second? I know - all judgement calls and something you'd have to judge on the play itself.
I guess I envisioned the play as the runner getting her legs tangled up at the bag - not moving necessarily fast but because the throw goes to second base she would have scored easily. Throw to home might get her if unobstructed. This is the situation I was commenting on.
If we have an absolute train wreck at third, then sure - give her home. Otherwise you've got to show a little effort - give me a reason to give you the call. Tough situation but I believe there are scenarios that could support two seperate conclusions on R1.
