Obstruction and timing play

The put out of the runner at 2B is due to a poor baserunning decision... either trying to stretch a single into a double, or hesitating on a double and getting put out. Neither has anything to do with the obstruction, so the base is awarded and the run scores.

Is my reasoning incorrect?

Actually, much more than I would have thought. AFA the award, the only thing I considered is if the OBS runner would have scored prior to the put out without the OBS. Really don't care why or how the other runner was put out, that is irrelevant to the rule other than the fact it was the 3rd out.
