After the "crew" gets together to talk the award over, they agree that BR belongs on third because he was past first "when the ball went out of play."
Now I can look forward to a coach wanting this call for his runner next year and at some point of the arguement he'll say, "You're wrong, I saw this same thing during the world series last year and the runner was awarded third!"
