Lots, but those don't necessarily answer his question. Contact with F3 just past first base is OBS between 1st and 2nd 100% of the time (ditto F6 and between 2nd and 3rd).

What he is asking, though, is whether a runner can be obstructed on her way to FIRST, by a fielder beyond first base.

Answer - yes (and the OP, without all the questions about F3, is a good example).
