With one out and runners on 1B and 2B, the pitcher attempts a pickoff to second base and the runner takes off to 3B and is in a rundown. R1 runs to 2B while R2 is in the run down. R2, on his way back to second, sees that R1 has occupied 2B and in dismay, touches 2B, over runs it towards center field pretty much giving up. R1, seeing this, takes off to 3B and the throw from F4 goes out of play.
Here's my questions. Did R1 pass a preceding runner? What happened first: R2 abandoned his effort / R1 passed a preceding runner. How many outs should be called? What is the proper awarded bases (if any)?
*This play has been sent the the Ohio High School Athletic Association for a ruling.
