Not much difference between ISF and ASA Rule Book, but this is one of the few. The BR was Obs from touching 1st and proceded to 2nd therefore if only reaching 2nd - No Appeal on missing 1st, the Obs protects this happening. If the BR does not break stride and continues to 3rd and gets tagged within reason, or in the Umpires judgement would of made 3rd, then still Safe. Regardless of missing 1st, The Obs ruled protects the runner, the overthrow possibly would of happened regardless.
Bebeau so few ISF umpires on this great site - Who are you?
