While I don't protect her back to 1st, as she wouldn't have gotten back even without OBS, is there an obstruction mechanic used? I'm guessing no, just explain the ruling to the OC when they come out...

According to the NFHS casebook, this depends on when the obstruction occurred. If she is obstructed running to second base after leaving 1b early, then the runner would be legally put out.

If the runner is obstructed returning to 1b, then she is protected.
