Bizarre American Association situation

[jchamp]

From the "Why you study ALL the rules" file.
This evening's game between the Grand Prairie Airhogs and the Lincoln Saltdogs featured one of the most bizarre ways to score runs. After the Home pitcher walked a batter to load the bases, he threw the ball towards the home dugout, intending, presumably, to get a replacement ball. He did this, it appears, after all the runners had reached their next base, but without calling time, so, with a live ball. The umpires awarded each runner two bases, resulting in two runs scored.
