| April 28, 2022 stick8 1992 posts | You make the call Runner on 1st, 1 out. Batter hits a short fly ball to right field. Runner at first tagged up and bluffs going to second after the catch. As the runner is jogging back to first the right fielder throws to first behind the runner. The throw goes out of play before he got back to first. What’s the call? |
| April 28, 2022 B.J. 1107 posts | stick... it's a 2 base award and the award will be determined by the position of the runner when the ball left the fielder's hand ... BUT since the runner never tagged up on the catch he must STILL go back and tag 1b and that counts as 1 base.. so the runner is awarded 2B |
| April 28, 2022 DaveDowell Men's 70 4317 posts | B.J. ... Your statement of the rule is correct, but it appears from the fact pattern that the runner DID tag up and bluffed going to second ... If that tag up was after the catch, there is no obligation to return to first and I would award those two bases to have the runner on third ... |

| April 28, 2022 Turning2 Men's 70 204 posts | Nice to be able to agree with DD, BJ you’re not reading the original post correctly, 2 base award puts the runner on 3rd base. |
| April 28, 2022 fresnomdn 12 posts | Always two bases on this play no matter the direction of the runner. Two from the last legally occupied base of the runner, tag or no tag. Unless there is a special senior rule for this play, it's always been two bases no matter the wording (two bases, one+one, etc., and direction of the runner is irrelevant. |
| April 29, 2022 Donna McGuire 65 posts | Great explanation from fresnomdn. There is no special senior rule for this play. The runner gets 3B. (Does not mater if he had tagged or not; he still gets 3B. In the case where a runner fails to tag, the defense can appeal that mistake.) |
