in fair ground. There is offensive coach at 1st. R1 holds the bag, BR sees this and
is about one step from entering the dugout, but not in it, when you hear, "time"
from PU. No tags have been made, ball is just being retrived by F4. At
this point BR enters DO.
Your Fix.

Without reading anything into the scenario given and speaking ASA.
BR is awarded 1B. R1 forced to 2B.
BR did not pass a runner unless there was an attempt to go to 2B and R2 physically passed R1.
Defense isn't going to like it, but this is one you have to eat as this is a DMU
