As R1 rounds third she is obstructed by F5 (I signal) and she continues toward home. Then R2 to tries to stretch her advance to 3rd. She is thrown out for the 3rd out of the inning, but plate ump says runner just crossed the plate before the out, run counts. All is hunky dory.

But what if R1 didn't score before the 3rd out? She was obstructed. Simply announce the obstruction, award home, and count the out at third as the third out of the inning?

This is probably straightforward, but just wondering.
I think you are saying that ITUJ R1 did not reach home in time because of the OBS. Then, probably what you said.
Otherwise, the OBS means nothing.
