If a runner is obstructed between 2nd and 3rd and the umpire judges home to be the award, then that is the award if the runner is put out before reaching the plate. Since the obstruction occured between 2nd and 3rd, the between bases section of the rule ended when the runner went past 3rd, but since the umpire judged him to be the base the runner would have reached, the runner is protected to home. If on the other hand the umpire only judged 3rd to be the base the runner would have reached, then once the runner went past 3rd they are no longer between bases and have gone beyond the base the umpire judged to be the award and if the defense put them out the out would stand.
