It is OBS because the fielder doesn't have possession of the ball. A no call leaves the runner hanging out to dry due to a defender impeding their progress.

BTW, there is no rule preventing the runner from crossing 2B, running out and around the LF three times and to wherever.

OK, the more I think about it I can accept that this was OBS. I realize there is no rule against the runner taking whatever path she chooses, I was just using the fact that no attempt was being made to reach third as my justification for a no-call. I now see that was incorrect.
