Situation: R1, less than 2 outs. Batter hits line drive to F6 who makes a great catch. R1 is between 1B and 2B when the catch is made and retreats back to 1B. He would have been out but F6 throws ball into DBT. Do you award the runner 2B (is he required to touch 1B first due to the catch and then go to 2B) or do you award the runner 3B on the overthrow?
