I did read it and concur. My reply allowed for the situation where a fielder loses possession of a ball on an attempted tag that goes into DBT.

I think I used the phrase "award bases as appropriate".

But yes, on a throw to DBT where both runners are between 2 & 3 at TOT, I'd award both runners home.
