I agree. The umpire should have loudly declared DEAD BALL the moment R1 was tagged out. All further play beyond that is irrelevant.

I also agree that the most likely base for R1 to be awarded would be 3rd, although it is a judgment by the umpire as to which base the runner would have achieved had there been no obstruction, it's have to be a bit unusual for that to be home in this situation.

ASA and Fed are the same here.
