Another earned vs. unearned gray area

1. Pitcher issues a leadoff walk (earned, so far).
2) Runner steals 2nd. (still earned).
3) Pitcher spins for a pickoff and the runner freezes. Pitcher charges the runner, who fakes a break back to 2nd, drawing a throw to the 2nd baseman, who is covering 2nd. Runner breaks for 3rd. 2B charges runner, and ½ step from the tag, runner collides with the obstructing 3rd. baseman. Runner is awarded 3B.
3) Next batter pops out to RF, allowing runner to tag and score.
My question is, did the 3rd baseman's obstructive blunder take over the run from the pitcher that issued the walk? If it did, how would you score it in iScore?
