NCAA Quiz #2 question

[UmpJM]

Durham,

My reasoning was actually based on the following from OBR:

Rule 7.05(g) Comment: In certain circumstances it is impossible to award a runner two bases. Example: Runner on first. Batter hits fly to short right. Runner holds up between first and second and batter comes around first and pulls up behind him. Ball falls safely. Outfielder, in throwing to first, throws ball into stand.
APPROVED RULING: Since no runner, when the ball is dead, may advance beyond the base to which he is entitled, the runner originally on first base goes to third base and the batter is held at second base.

I couldn't find anything in the NCAA rules that explicitly said the same thing, but I couldn't find anything that contradicted it either.

Since NCAA is "derivative" of OBR, absent anything to the contrary, the principle applies.

The walk situation you pose is different, because the award is to to the BR only, and his award "forces" the preceding runners, which is not the case in the OP.
