OBR, no outs, R1. R1 is attempting to steal second when the batter hits to deep left field. R1, slides safely into second when F7 catches the ball then, and then throws it out of play while R1 is still standing on second. At this time R1 has made no attempt to return to first to tag up. Since the base award is two bases from the time of throw and R1 is on second, do you look at him and say, "you are awarded third"? Or do you say something like "you go to the plate?" If you tell the runner that you have awarded him home, do you amend that award to third if he returns to tag up at first?
