Is this the right award? I had no complaints, but for some reason I had it stuck in my head that this sitch, unlike a fielded ball thrown OOB, was a 1-base award.
Looks like your award was correct. You might be thinking of the ball going dead after getting away from a fielder on an attempted play, which is a one base award.
