Question. How did the runner legally have second since, according to the original post, they were between second and third at the time of the catch?
The runner needs to complete their base running responsibilities first. Therefore, the last base legally touched at the time of the throw would be first. The runner gets third assuming they touched second while coming back to first to tag up.
I hope I'm not wrong on this.
