B. or becomes a blocked ball.
RULES SUPPLEMENT (2007)
38. OVERTHROWS.
Runners are always awarded two bases on balls that are overthrown or
become blocked as a result of hitting loose equipment that belongs to the
defensive team and should not be on the field (RS #18)....
EXCEPTION: ...
When a fielder loses possession of the ball on an attempted tag and the ball
then enters dead ball territory or becomes blocked, all runners are awarded
one base from the base last touched at the time the ball entered dead ball
territory, or became blocked.
