It would have been preferable for DeMuth to call "time," especially since the runner was thrown out. At that time, the ball is dead. Once the ball became dead, it would have been better either (a) Joyce to point at home plate and award the runner home or (b) get together with DeMuth, provided Joyce needed any additional information.
I thought that some of the baseball gurus would have brought up the scramble-unscramble philosophy to obstruction/interference.

Nobody brought it up because it doesn't apply. F5 wasn't attempting to retrieve a loose ball in his vicinity; it was well away from the scrum. So there is no valid argument to excuse the fielder.

Since the OBS was after R2 reached third, R3 is awarded home. The ball is "delayed dead"
