Situation: runners on 1ts and 2nd. Batter hits the ball to the LC fielder. The ump grabs the bat and tosses it to the side to get it out of the baseline to avoid a possible injury.
The throws comes into home trying to throw the runner who started on 2nd out. The throw is wild, BUT it hits the bat that the ump tossed to the side. The ball then bounces off the bat and away from the catcher letting the runner who started on first to score, batter ends up on 3rd base.
What is the call? Do the runners go back to the previous base as if the ball didn't hit the bat, which the ump tossed to that spot, they would not have advanced the one more base, or do they score and move into 3rd like they did?
