IMO, you're close. I believe that the
tag attempt would be the first play. Then the second play would be the throw.
Gaining possession of the ball, from what I read and typed, is not a play.
Reread the part where is states that a play dictates what happens after a fielder gains possession.
Other thoughts on that? Open to feedback either way.
