Wish my book were right but as I remember the wording:
A runner may be called out between the obstructed bases if they have achieved the base they would have without the obstruction and there has been a play on a different runner.

The way I have this in my head: R1 at 2nd, sharply hit ball to Center. BR is obstructed rounding first. Ball is thrown in to the cutoff and BR heads back to first. Throw goes home and runner tries to go to second. A play is made at the plate and then the ball is thrown back to 2nd where the runner is tagged out.
