Cool

bossman,

I'm currently out of town on business, so I don't have my references handy, but the ball is dead and the award is two bases to any remaining viable runner(s).

The "special" award of only one base only applies to a legal catch of an "in flight" batted ball - iirc, the idea was to encourage aggressive defensive play.

In the sitch you pose, it's a "book rule" double.
