I apologize if you took offense with my initial response. I just felt your question was rhetorical, that's all.

And nobody is criticizing you for not awarding two bases. As I mentioned before, your ruling was correct in accordance with the rules you enforce in your league.

If I were you, I would go back to that league and ask why they have such an odd rule. As you've heard here, it conflicts with just about every softball and baseball organization in existence.
