That's the part I think may need to be adjusted. Don't understand why this would need to be a dead ball.

But if it is going to be a dead ball, I like the NCAA's effect which awards a base to all runners, not just those forced. That would account for any OBS where a runner not forced being returned to a base if attempting to steal on the play and the special rule (8.1.D.4) for CO in an attempted squeeze play.
