I was reading through some questions on a quiz put out by Referee magazine. One of them caught my attention. I would like some opinions.

Which of the choices apply to FED and OBR?
#12 With R2 on second, B1 slaps a grounder to F6, who runs toward second with R2 retreating. F6 then throws blindly to first and the ball goes into dead-ball territory. At the time of the throw, B1 had already touched first.
a. F6's run toward R2 is a play.
b. F6's run toward R2 is not a play; the throw is the first play.
c. R2 is awarded third.
d. R2 is awarded home.
e. B1 is awarded second.
f. B1 is awarded third.
g. B1 is awarded home.
Again - which of the above apply to FED? Which of the above apply to OBR?
I'd be curious as to some of the answers we get for this one.
