In fact, I just had this scenario last night, and the offensive coach told his runner to stay at 3rd even before I did. Slow roller to 2nd, and the runner at first was flying (she may have left early, but that is for another thread). Working alone, I can't be sure that she had not hit 2nd prior to the throw that eventually went out of play (it was a real slow roller, and was bobbled by the 2nd baseman a couple of times). As soon as I called "dead ball" I hear the 3rd base coach direct his runner to stay at 3rd. Now, of course, his runner may have just been on the 1st base side of second at the time of the throw, but I'm pretty sure that she had hit the bag. I thought at the time, "good call coach".
