O.K. Here goes.
Fed rules. I can find no Fed case book play to match this sitch.
Fed baseball rules and Fed softball rules match on this base award. The BRD has no listing of a difference for ruling on this sitch between Fed, NCCA, or OBR.
Therefor from the NAPBL 3.11 example 2.
"Runner on first, one out. Batter flies out to right field for second out. However runner on first thought there were two out and is between second and third when the ball is caught. Right fielder's throw to first is wild and goes into dugout. Runner is between second and third when ball goes out of paly.
RULING: Runner is awarded third (two bases from his original base). However while the ball is dead, he must return to and retouch first base. Furthermore, since he was between second and third when the ball went out of play, he must return to first before he reaches and touches third (the next base). If he touches third, he may not return to first; and if the defensive team appeals, he is out at first."
I'll have to rest my arguement here.
(Fed softball 5-2-2b is the cite that prevents a runner from returning to a missed base or left too soon base on a dead ball. 8-4-2t makes her out if she is too far or continues on after the ball is dead.)

P.S. I Just went by eTeamz.
Dang, Sam, 8-3-4a.2. I did all that work when the solution was right there!!! (At least I had her on the right base, even if it was for the wrong reason.)
Good Job.
Thanks,
Roger
