Award of bases...

OBR and R1

Ball is thrown out of play by outfielder. I know it's 2 bases from time of throw so let's assume that R1 had not reached 2nd when the throw was made but the BR HAD reached 1st when the throw was made.

R1 would go to 3rd and the BR should go to 3rd.

Does BR push R1 who is now on 3rd home or does BR have to stay at 2nd because 3rd is occupied?

No, this is one of the few times when he loses part of his award.

7.05(g)

APPROVED RULING: If all runners, including the batter-runner, have advanced

at least one base when an infielder makes a wild throw on the first play after the

pitch, the award shall be governed by the position of the runners when the wild

throw was made.

Rule 7.05(g) Comment: In certain circumstances it is impossible to award a runner two bases.

Example: Runner on first. Batter hits fly to short right. Runner holds up between first and second and

batter comes around first and pulls up behind him. Ball falls safely. Outfielder, in throwing to first,

throws ball into stand.

That's what I was thinking.
