awarding bases
Hypothetical situation...
Runner at first base. Nobody out. Batter hits a long fly to right field. Runner on first assumes the ball is going to drop in for a hit and runs full tilt. He has already passed second base when the right fielder makes a sensational catch. The right fielder tries to put the runner out on appeal at first base. However, the throw is wild and rolls into the first-base dugout. The runner was between second and third when the throw was made. What bases are awarded to the runner? Based on the two-bases-from-the-time-of-the-throw logic, the runner should be awarded home--provided he retouches second and first properly.
Do you agree or disagree?
