As said - we do not know if it was a routine single or a gapper (Situation #3)
Assuming it is a gapper (or similar) I will watch the play develop before forming in my mind to where she will be protected. No way at that point am I determining double, triple, or HR. if outfielder bobbles in outfield or whatever, and the runner is ultimately thrown out at plate - I'm likely ruling that the OBS at first was slowing enough to cause the out. Therefore I have safe (award of home).
Maybe to be clearer - any subsequent "close play out" would likely result in awarding that base.
Of course this would not necessarily be true with stops and pauses and throws and run downs , etc that may happen. I'm talking about continous play.
