Would anyone care to explain to me why the BR is protected all the way back to 1B when the BR is not protected by obstruction and he made a huge BR mistake?

Because the play was really over before the BR was tagged out. He was tagged after the play on R1, which made everything after that moot. Or mute if your so inclined.
