I play on ASA(msf) men's team on Tuesday nights. 5th inning were up by 5. 1 out and a runner on first. (The other team is batting). Deep flyball to right field, to which the runner never tagged up because he didn't think it would be caught. The RC did catch and at this point the runner was around second base. The RC threw the ball into the third baseman who missed it and it rolled into the dugout. At this time the other team is screaming for their runner to get back to first. He takes off from between 2-3 base and runs directly over the pitches mound to get back to first.
(I play 1st). I saw the runner pass 2nd when the ball was released from RC. The other team claimed he should be on third and my team tried to claim out of the baseline. What is the correct call? The ump, after 5min, awarded 1st back to the runner.
