If you had a situation like this where the runner missed 1st, ended on 2nd, and your award was third, you would announce the OBS and the award, and wait to see what the runner did regarding the missed base, right?

So why give LESS opportunity to fix her mistake to someone who managed to make it to their awarded base?
