I still think that perhaps B/R should have been out because she made the attempt for 2nd but does the fake attempt wipe out that liability?

LBR went into effect when pitcher had ball in circle and batter/runner touched first.

BR has one stop after rounding 1B.

Sounds like you might have gone a little quick. If you called time before BR made 2B I probably would have sent her back to 1B.

I had a HUGE brain fart a couple of weeks ago..called dead ball on runner at 3B for LBR before BR made 1B. Action continued, even though I said Dead Ball, and BR wound up at 2B and R1 scored. Man did I have some explaining to do!!Luckily Offensive Coach realized I was human and wasn't too mad (he was winning anyway)!
