If you think that giving the runner from 2nd home because she reached 3rd base is bad, consider this: R1 on 1st base thinks that there are two outs. The batter hits a long fly ball. R1 is off with the pitch and never even considers tagging up. In fact, she has already rounded 2nd base when the ball is caught. Now she is between 2nd & 3rd base when the outfielder releases the ball to 1st base and the ball goes out of play, R1 is awarded HOME!
Two bases from the time of the throw. R1 gets 3rd base and home.
I'm not looking to addresses "re-touching" or appeals. I just want to show you that by rule, sometimes runners may get more than what seemed fair. But then again, that's why we have appeals!
