IF R1 would have reached 3rd w/o the OBS, and would have been awarded 3rd by the umpire after the play; then she stays safe there.
Can't be out between 2nd and 3rd unless an exception applies; which it does not seem to as the play on another runner exception says AND the obstructed runner reaches the base protected to safely.
