When obstructed runner is tagged out returning to third umpire should call dead ball and announce the obstruction, award the runner home. If the runner fails to tag third base prior to going home the defense can appeal for the out due to failure to tag third.
There is no automatic award of the next base with an obstruction offense. The runner is merely protected between the bases in which the obstruction occurred and to the base that she/he would have made, in the judgement of the umpire, had the obstruction not occurred.

In the case that Mike presented, I believe that the only base she is entitled to is third.
