I agree with the consensus. The runner is in jeopardy on her return to 3rd. What if she did not return to 3rd? Suppose she went to the dug out? What are you going to do then? I'd put her back on 3rd. Why? Because by rule she can't score. By rule she didn't score. So, if as in the OP, she returns to 3rd, she is in jeopardy. The rule clearly states that a runner at 3rd is liable to be put out if she is off 3rd base. The rule also states that a runner who has advanced beyond the base they are entitled to is in jeopardy between those bases. In the OP, the runner is off of 3rd base and has advance beyond the base they are entitled to.

The rule book allows us to place the runner back on the base they are entitled to if they safely advanced to the next base. If they chose to go back on their own, they are in jeopardy.

A note to fastpitch: I also live is Suwanee GA. What association do you call for?
