The runner was legally running the bases; she was then put out, and changed status to a retired runner. The defensive player that was never in the act of fielding the ball, was simply ATTEMPTING to get to where she MIGHT have a chance to field the ball, was NEVER protected from obstruction; not while simply chasing, not while laying on the ground after obviously failing. Repeat; she was never in the act of actually fielding the batted ball, she has no protection from committing obstruction.

Despite what many people think, Interference and Obstruction ARE NOT the direct opposite of each other. Per definitions, (most) interference violations require an "act" of interference, obstruction violations do not require an "act" of obstruction, just that the runner is hindered by a defensive player without the ball or fielding a batted ball. If you don't like that, lobby to have the rule changed. Until then, make the ruling prescribed by the ruleset you are working that day.

Beyond that, people are defining "act" differently based on whether it is obstruction or interference.
