Dead Ball Advancement
R1 on first with no outs......Batter hits long high fly to deep right and R1 is off and running...Rightfielder makes incredible catch and falls over the fence.
R1 is past second when umpire declares dead ball. ASA rules. Umpire yells " Out! Dead Ball, runners advance one base." Assuming R1 retouches first, what base is he/she entitled to? |

1 + 2 = 3 Pretty simple, huh? |

Am I missing something here? I'm sleep deprived so maybe I am . . . Wasn't this a caught flyball and the runner was "off and running". Wouldn't 1st base be considered the last base touched since they would have to tag up on the caught fly ball? Or do you award 3rd and they have to go back and re touch or risk being out on appeal?
Did I just answer my own question?

Pretty clear to me the last base touched was 2nd. |
