But the tag up needs to come into the equation here. If you feel she could have retreated all the way to 2B and scored, then award home. Otherwise, the out stands.

Great sitch, BTW!
I don't think a runner can be put out between the bases obstructed just because she retreated to tag up. She is still protected until she passes the forward of the base between which she was obstructed and the one she would have reached. (Which in this case is home either way). And I'm also pretty sure it doesn't change the award either.

That'd get pretty messy. Suppose the runner being knocked down allowed her to make second and if not she'd have clearly been out on appeal. I think you have to make the award assuming all advances were legal and that the runner is going to keep moving forward. (Unless she's obstructed retreating in which case, I wish we had a clearer rule as in my D).
