Odd play
Not as strange as the OP, but can't remember this combo. Don't need replies/discussion about the play, just pointing out another case where we have to be aware of where runners are at every point of action.
R1/2nd, ball batted to F5, who checks R1 and throws to 1st. Throw pulls F3 off base (which BU has to call from C), BR safe. F3 tries to get R1 at 3rd, overthrown ball goes out of play. R1 of course scores, BR goes to 2nd and stops. BU waves BR to 3rd, defense objects. Meantime, BU checks with PU to confirm pulled foot at 1st and he agrees; but doesn't know whether BR gets 2nd or 3rd.
