Not to be a smart ***, but this is so simple, I find it hard to believe there are people still out there that do not understand this.
When a tie breaker is in effect, there is ALWAYS a runner placed on 2B. There cannot be an "automatic" out since no situation exists where that rule would apply.
It is ALWAYS the player (or a substitute) scheduled to bat last in that inning. That doesn't mean the third player, but that last scheduled to bat prior to the lead-off batting a second time in that same half inning.
