Would which throw of the run down make a difference? 2 bases TOT = 2 bases from the last legally acquired base at the time of the throw - the last base acquired is the same, no matter which throw of the run down you use.

R is caught b/w 1B and 2B - he's acquired 1B, trying to reach 2B, and back and forth. One throw of the run down or 40, he's still only acquired 1B.

Not using the throw from the outfield makes sense. Award from where R was during the run down.
