Not the way I read it

8-2-M-c:

On any force out attempt from the foul side of first base, or an errant throw pulling the defense into foul ground, the defense and the batter-runner can use either the white or [the] colored portion.

I don't like it, but it sounds to me that F3 does have an extra-long base on errant throws (and so does the BR, but to little advantage).

Otherwise, it would have to say, "or after an errant throw has pulled the defense into foul ground." Of course, maybe that's what they meant to say.

When I get time, I'll check the case book.
