My son has been playing in a Babe Ruth League this that goes by yhe OBR with a few minor exceptions.

I have seen 2 calls that have me wondering about the advancement of runners on a ball thay goes out of play.

The first was when the pitcher disenged from the pitching plate, (becoming an infielder), and threw the ball out of play on a pick off attempt. The PU awarded the runner only second base since he was " heading back to 1B to avoid the pick off". Therefore, he gets the base he was going to plus one.

The second was a ball that went under a fence in right filed with a runnner at 2B. That runner was awarded only 3B because he was going back to tag up. Same explanation as before. The PU did award the batter-runner 2B.

Everywhere I have looked calls for 2 bases to be awarded to the runners with only their location at the time of of the throw being used to determine the last base legal occupied/touched.

Any help would be appreciated.
