Answer was stated. What you would actually DO if the wild throw was recovered, and the play and tag was made at 2nd:
What would look like a TAG of a runner for an OUT would get from you (BU) only a call of "TIME!", at which time you award the base, the base he is already at.
Has anyone seen this in a game. Play as stated, BALK on wild pickoff to 1st. Now you announced "BALK!!" good and loud (as you should)... so fielders (many many fielders) chase ball LEISURELY since they think that BALK bellow killed the ball (OBR please).. and runner scampers to 3rd.
Coach: You called BALK!
BU: Oh you heard that, heh?
