| With R1 on 3B and R2 on 2B, B3 hits a sharp grounder back to F1 who knocks it down and it rolls toward the foul line. F1 picks the ball up and throws the ball over the head of the 1B and the ball rolls into dead ball territory. B3 had already passed 1B when the ball left F1’s hand. Neither R1 nor R2 had advanced. What is your ruling?

| This is first play of an infielder. Everyone is going to get 2 bases at the time of the pitch.
since runners are on second and third , they both score. Batter/runner placed on second. She was at home time of the pitch 2 bases from there is second base.

| The award is 2 bases from the time of the throw. If B3 had already passed 1st base at the time of the throw, they would be awarded 3rd base. The other 2 runners on 2nd and 3rd would both score.

| Two (2) bases from the last base touch by the runner, at the time of the release by the fielder. Therefore the runners on 2nd & 3rd score, and since the batter-runner had already passed first base, she would be awarded third base (two bases).

| Two bases from the release, thrown ball, from any fielder. Batter would get third base because batter had touched first base before ball was thrown. R1 and R2 both score.
You will see this at the lowest levels of play because younger players will throw ball after a runner goes past a base.

| I believe that this rule changed in the late 1980's. Now it's two bases from the last base touched at the time of the release. Prior to that it was two bases from "the time of the pitch" on the first throw by an infielder, and two bases from the time of the throw on the first throw by an outfielder. Now it's all on the release from anywhere (1985?).

| You're right Michelle! I remember as a player that was the rule. But the rule changed shortly after I began umpire training (mid 80's). Now it's always two bases from the release from any player, from anywhere on the field, from the first throw to the last throw.
