Had to be there
Most rules leave this to umpire judgement (what base would the runner have achieved without the obstruction?)
IN your scenario, it sounds like the runner might well have achieved 3rd... and therefore should be called safe and placed at 3rd with an explanation of the obstruction call.
However, if the umpire feels the runner has advanced beyond the base he would have reasonably reached without the obstruction, the runner is now in jeopardy and can be tagged out.
NFHS Rules 8-3-2.
OBR Rules 7.06
