Awarding Bases

This is what I thought. Since R1 had already achieved 1B then they would be placed at third.

No, it's because R! is on 1st or between 1st and 2nd. The difference is if R1 passed 2nd then returned, could be past 2nd at the TOT.

I don't believe the OP mentions this.

NCASAUmp... since you mentioned it (and it came up this weekend), the pitch is considered the primary throw, which if thrown out of play, is a one base award.
Is this correct?

I had a potentially interesting one last night.

Field with unmarked DB line. F3, off the bag, had secured then bobbled throw, THEN kind of scooped the ball toward where the DB line would have been, after the BR had reached. I was working the plate and determined that it was still in play. My immediate thought was, that if it HAD gone dead, that the BR (actually R1 now)would have got 3B, as the ball would have gone dead on the actions of F3, not because of the throw. My partner disagreed.....I feel I am correct...would I have been right?

Its 2 bases from the base last touched at the time the ball left the fielders hand.

What was the specifics of his disagreement?
If he had a rule wrong, then post game, grab a rule book and talk it over.

In this situation, the fielder secured the ball and then lost possession (unintentionally) into dead ball territory. The award is one base from the time the ball enetered DBT. 8-5-G EXCEPTION 1.

There is no such terminology in ASA. USSSA has such terminology, and maybe other orgs as well. But not ASA.

If my amnesia serves me correctly, in USSSA, there's a difference between primary throw and a secondary throw. I THINK the primary throw is the first play made on a runner by an infielder, and a secondary throw is everything else.

However, it's been 13 years since I called USSSA, so someone will probably correct me on this.

The pitch is just that, a pitch. For the purposed of the rules it is not a throw, primary or otherwise.

Correct, just correcting "achieved 1B", in another post.
