OK, another case:
Runners on 1st and 2nd, base hit to LF.
R1 going to 3rd, making wide turn but collides with F5 barely before reaching 3rd. OBS called.
R1 continues toward home, LF throws to catcher, R1 tagged out 15 – 20 feet before home.

Is there any reason, with regard to the OBS, to nullify the out?
For example, R1’s path looked like an attempt to score and the OBS impeded.
