I would award the obstructed runner home and the batter run, who legally made it home, would retain that position at home.

Okay, now look at the rule. If, in your judgment, the BR would have scored on the play and she did score, doesn't that mean she was not affected by the OBS of another runner? If that is true, does that mean that she was not entitled to any protection?
