So question is what if I would have called time prior to R2 getting to 2nd? 3rd base was not thinking about throwing on R2 and didn't, was doing the hold tag until runner gets up thing.....but what would you do if you killed it too early? Let R2 continue to 2nd? Send her back to 1st? What say you all??
Catching yourself is a good thing. If you did make the mistake, it would depend on where the runner was when you killed the ball. If more than halfway, 2B. If not, return to 1B.

You screwed up, you correct it.
