The legitimate play in question here, would be the right of the defense to hold the BR at first. In the case book play, there is a runner at third as well. As you know, in most cases, teams will automatically send the BR to second in this situation, as the defense is usually focused on the runner at 3rd. This is, allegedly, a way to prevent the BR from being able to automatically advance. Therefore, as the NFHS rule book clearly states, "all bases must be run legally, even awarded ones."
