You guys are confusing me... there seems to be a mix of R1 makes it back to base and R1 tagged out before making it back in the replies and responses... Or, maybe I'm just easily confused - or both

What result if runner is tagged out vs. her making it back safely.

Speaking ASA.
CASE 1: R1 is tagged out in the pickle. The obstructed runner cannot be put out between the bases where the obstruction occurred. If she is tagged out, the play is immediately dead. She is placed on the base she would have received & other runners placed accordingly. In this case, R1 on 3B and R2 on 2B.
CASE 2: R1 makes it back to the base without being tagged. R1 still has "rights" to the base and has arrived safely. R2 is in jeopardy and must attempt to return to 2B or be tagged out. If R1 is tagged first, that is nothing more than tagging a runner standing on a base to which she is entitled. In other words, nothing. Ball still live; R2 still in jeopardy. If R2 is tagged before she makes it back to 2B, she is out.
