One assumption has been made here that might not be correct. Poster says runner is between 2nd and 3rd WHEN THE BALL ROLLS UNDER THE FENCE. It's been alluded to, but not specifically stated --- but what matters is not where the runner was when the ball rolls under the fence, but rather where the runner was when the ball was THROWN. If runner was rounding, but shy of 2nd base, when F3 threw the ball, 3rd base is the proper award.
