Inadvertent "Time" Call

[834k3r]

Last night, JV. I'm PU. 1 out, R1. F1 drops the third strike. BR takes off for 1B, R1 takes off towards second. F2's sails the throw and it ends up in no-man's land between F3 and F9. For some reason, my partner calls "time." After BR is told he's out, my partner tries to send R1 back to 1B until the HT coach says he could advance at his own peril. My partner acknowledges that and keeps R1 at 2B.

After the game, he says when he called time it looked like the runner was going to try for 3B. In the case of inadvertent calling of time, what's the proper positioning of the Runner Formerly Known as R1? Would you put him at 2B or 3B?

I would have left it as it was..  IF  he did not actually start off for 3rd, Then again How HOT is the DC gonna be if you place a guy at 3rd on that play... whoooooo no thank you.

I'm with @ArchAngel72 ... you did the damage, now minimize it.

"Coach, he might have gotten there OR he might have gotten thrown out.  Let's leave it as 'I did everybody a favor.'"
