To lose protection of being called out between the bases, a runner has to reach the base they would have reached AND there then has to be a play on a different runner.

A runner who is obstructed with no chance of getting back to first is still out for leaving early. But if she makes it back to first and then steps off again and there has been no subsequent play, she cannot be tagged out.

Am I missing something here?
