I used LL rulebook as my reference. Ripken (Babe Ruth) rules used to be online, but don't seem to be anymore. However, I checked this rule in BR awhile back and am 99% sure that it is the same as LL.

To answer your question, yes I'm sure about my example.

LL rule 7.13(b)
"In no event shall the batter advance beyond first base on a single or error, second base on a double or third base on a triple. The UIC shall determine the base value of the hit ball." That's why I gave the example as a clean single that got between F8's legs for additional bases. No matter where the batter winds up, its still a single, the batter only gets 1B because a runner left early.

Example 12 below in the same rule says "Runners on second and third, either leaves too soon, batter reaches first safely, neither runner can advance."
