R1 on third one out. Fly ball to left field caught for out #2. R1 has led off with the pitch and is obstructed returning to third to tag up. R1 tags up and attempts to score but is thrown out at home. Ruling?

What was the margin that runner was thrown out by at home plate? Could they have tagged and scored if the obstruction had not occurred?

As in the other obstruction thread, an obstructed runner cannot be put out between the 2 bases where obstructed other than for base running violation or interference. Obstruction is not cancelled until 2 separate actions occur, the runner must reach the base they would have reached absent the obstruction and there must be a subsequent play on a different runner.
