USSSA rules

R1, R2, B1 singles to LC. R2 (R3) rounds third and F6 takes the relay and throws to third, only the throw goes into the dugout. PU awards everyone 1 base. He said no one was going anywhere so they only get 1 base. Runners had all acquired their bases before the throw into the dugoout was made.
Right call?

Unless U-trip's rule has been changed to be different from that of every other code, the umpire should have awarded the BR 3B and the other runners home.

What direction runners were going, whether they "had a base made," whether they were stopped, whether they were "going anywhere"—all these factors are irrelevant.

Another one of those "words for the ages" that we need to engrave on the backstops of every field.

And it hasn't been.
