No, the umpire crew got together and sent the BR to second and R1 to third!

I saw Mike Scioscia do this about 25 years ago. He was in the big leagues and he didn't know that rule. He still talks about it today.

Edit: turns out the video doesn't show the play, but there is a brief explanation of the situation in the article. Not much new info, though.

They didn't award one base, they awarded two bases (BR to second, R1 to third). However, by rule it should have been three bases.

this one was on a pitch though, so that is one base.
