From last season's supplement to the NCAA baseball rules 2011:
Page 8, Play 2
With a runner on first, B3 hits into the gap. R1 rounds second and collides with F6. He gets up and advances past third and about halfway home. He then decides to retreat back to third as the ball is relayed hime.
Ruling 2: The ball is not dead; play continues until all action has ceased. R1 should be awarded the base that the umpire feels will nullify the obstruction. B3 will remain wherever he ended up. The throw home was not affected by the obstruction; either B3 advanced to second on the throw or he stayed at first.
It's not exactly your play but has enough there to help rule. Type 1 is an immediate dead ball. That was no the case in your play. With Type 2, let the play continue and award as necessary. If the runner was impeded on his way to third, give him that base. According to the supplement, the BR had a base hit and stays put.
