I know I'm being pedantic. It's early and I haven't had any coffee. |
Except that no one ever mentioned a tag attempt. Now we're just making things more complicated for the lad.

In OBR the rule refers to first play, but this question was about a JV game (FED). 8-3-5 refers to the first play but the awards table (Two bases item 5) it says "first throw by an infielder . . ." so I just picked "throw". |

We should never jump in on partner's judgement calls, as has been noted here numerous times. But if partner is misapplying a rule (he wasn't here, but imagine if OP was the BU and a guy who knew the rule was PU), you MUST correct the situation. A base award like this sitch IS a rule, and if BU had given the runner 3rd, it should be corrected (the best way would be for PU to get BU together and have BU actually do the correction). |

I wasn't trying to complicate the original play, either, UMP25. I just wanted to point out that once F6 lunges forward to try to tag R2 running by the award basis changes (although the actual award may very well be the same). |
Quote:
I do note, however, that no one has yet addressed the clear interference by the runner advancing from 2B. |

Well, this is fun, but I gots a game this afternoon and a 2 hour drive to get there. |
Let's stretch it a bit - R1 on 1B takes off with pitch, B hits between F5 and F6 at back edge of infield, R1 has reached 2B and BR has reached 1B before F6 begins throw to F3 who throws OB. I give R1 home and B/R 3B - 2 bases from TOT.

In that extraordinarily unlikely situation, yes. However, if R1 had reached 2B but the BR had not reached 1B, then R1 gets 3B and BR gets 2B. |
