In your case, you should not hold a press conference - you simply announce the obstruction and the award (home - not 3rd!). The offense then has the opportunity to retouch home, 3rd, home, if they want to. You don't announce this though. Then, after it's obvious whether offense is going to do anything, the defense may appeal the miss - and she's out.
I guess you are saying that time to the runner had time to score and that only the missed base was caused by the obstruction.

If so, then why is she out, the award should negate the OBS?
