question on a rule

[skipper907]

I have a rule question, here's the scenario....in ASA play in a slow pitch game, with a runner between 1st and 2nd headed back to 1st base and the throw going over the first baseman's head 'out of play' Isn't the runner awarded 2 bases started with the one they were going to which in this case was first, so that person gets to only advance to 2nd base. OR Is it 2 bases no matter which way they were headed, so they would get to go to 3rd regardless. I thought it was the first way but we had an ump last night give em 3rd. Any help here would be appreciated. Thanks
