Balls thrown out of play are 2 bases from runners position at time of throw. Runner was between 1st and 2nd, that would make the award 3rd.
Agreed....I had pretty much the same play as your #1 a few years ago and called the same way you did...then looked it up and realized I was incorrect.
I'll never blow that one again.....
