F8 throws to F5 covering second. As B1 runs up the line, she is bumped into by F3 and knocked off stride. She then continues running and runs into an easy out (by 20 ft) at 2nd base.
The obstruction clearly happened between home and first base. The runner made a choice to attempt to get second base when she had no realistic chance to do so.
I am not protecting a runner who makes a poor decision, or rewarding a coach for making a poor decision to send the runner.

I agree with your thought process.
