I saw that R3 was tagged, but it wasn’t clear whether she was on the base. If both are on 3B...R2 is out, and R3 is safe at 3B.In both scenarios I believe R3 made it safely back to 3B (otherwise these are easy calls)

Reading these two obstruction scenarios... It doesn't say that a runner cannot be called out once she is obstructed.
Being obstructed does not grant immunity from being put out.
Here is another odd obstruction play from a championship game a few years ago:
Runners on second (R2) and third (R3). Passed ball/wild pitch and both runners break for the next base. R2 is obstructed by the shortstop, but reaches third base.
R3 was about 15 feet from home plate and decided she wouldn’t beat the catcher’s throw to the piTotcher, so she turns tail and returns back to third base also.
Defense throws the ball down to third and tags R3 and then R2.
What do you have?
Actually, it does say she can't be tagged out "between the two bases where the obstruction occurred", which is the case in both scenarios.
To start, it would have been R1 & R2
