Answer
Hi Kyle,

Defensive players obstruct and offensive players interfere in softball.  

Obstruction is the act of a defensive player not in possession of the ball and not in the act of fielding a batted ball  that impedes a runner legally running the bases.

Based on your facts, you were obstructed and are now protected between the bases you were obstructed, you cannot be called out between those bases. You should have been awarded the base you would have reached in the umpires judgment had you not been obstructed.  This sounds like 3rd, home would be the other possibility, but I didn't see it.
