Had this happen in a playoff game. Fed rules. 1 Out, R1, R2. Batter hits a fly ball to shallow Center. As the center fielder is settling under it, R2 is tagging and R1 is going 1/2 way. The center fielder drops the ball, picks it up immediately and overthrows 3rd before R2 had reached it. R1 had not reached 2B at Time of Throw, however B/R has attained 1B. Umpire rules R1 and R2 score and B/R gets 3B. I argue that at TOT R2 was still on 2b. He gets home and R1 should get 3B. What's the right ruling?

Of course, we lost by 1.

If, in fact, the runner who was on 1st hadn't reached 2nd base at the time of the throw he should have been awarded 3rd base. The maximum award for a throw that goes out of play is two bases. Can't award two bases to the B/R even if he had passed 1st at the time of the throw because this would result in two runners occupying the same base. (3rd) The B/R in this case should only have been awarded 2nd base.

You go Pilsner, good call.
