12U LL softball game. Bases loaded, 1 out. Batter hits a "shot" to left/center gap. Runner from 3rd and 2nd score.
Runner from 1st is on way to 3rd when F5 stands on F6 side of 3rd base blocking base completly, without posession of ball, prior to runner from 2nd reaching 3rd (F7 is just picking up hit ball). I am PU and signal OBS. Runner coming from 2nd slows down, touches 3rd, starts to proceed to home then stops and returns to 3rd. ball from F7 is received by F6 on the infield. Play stops when pitcher has ball and coach calls "time" to question why his runner was not awarded home because she "would have made it anyway". I had runner from 2nd protected to 3rd not to home. Correct call?

Sam, only you can answer that question. If you only protected to third base because, at the time of the obstruction you judged the runner would have only made third safely without the obstruction, then you ruled correctly. If at the time of the obstruction, you thought the runner would have scored, but you didn't award home because either 1) the runner didn't try for it, or 2) you thought they were only protected to 3B because the obstruction happened between 2B and 3B, then you were wrong (as that is only part of the rule, not the final award).
