What the heck, I was almost there anyway.

Jim Evans puts it this way:
"When a pitcher balks, one of three contingencies may occur: (1) the pitcher stops his delivery and retains possession of the ball, (2) the pitcher continues his delivery and completes his throw to a base, or (3) the pitcher continues his delivery and completes a pitch to the batter."
Well, that's not a far leap from where I was. I was looking for a stop after the fake to kill the ball. I can accept Evans #1 above. Balk, dead ball runner to second.
Good play, Rich.
