She can not be called out between the bases where the obstruction occurs (in this case 1st and 2nd) but that does not mean she is awarded 2nd base...... She can be returned to first base if you feel that absent the obstruction she would not have made it to 2nd safely.
In other words, she is "awarded" or "protected to" the base you feel she would have attained absent the obstruction.
In addition, she can not be called out between the bases.
So if you don't feel she would have made 2nd base safely and she gets tagged out between 1st and 2nd - you can't call her out, but you can't give her second so.............
