As I said, other rules are not suspended. The ball is still live and you have two active runners. The rule clearly states the trail runner would be out in this situation. The lead runner ALWAYS owns a base until they have been retired or forced by a trailing runner.

when by rule the lead runner has not actually obtained third but home by judgment and error by the defense?
( i am not awarding her home, i am giving her home that she would have legally obtained had the OBS not occurred)

It is an award (and to the best of my knowledge, cannot be effected until the ball is killed), she is still a live runner and subject to being retired between 3B & Home if there is a subsequent rule violation.

I'll stick with a DMR, go get your glove.
