12U tournament game with R1R1 steals 2nd on the pitch and F2 gets jumpy.  The ball grazes the top of F2 glove and passes by.  PU pivots to let F2 go after the passed ball.  R1 looks around and the coaches begin to send him to 3rd.  A very astute BU calls time and yells to PU that the ball had gone right into his ball bag.  Never seen that before not sure I ever will again.

The bag in use was similar to this one with a formed opening and the PU wore it on his thigh rather than his hip which allowed this to happen.

They awarded him 2nd as we was essentially there when the ball hit the glove.

​Right placement, wrong logic.

The one-base award would be from the time of the pitch. Thus, no matter where R1 was at the time it went in the bag, he gets 2B.
