Situation: Runner is caught in a run down between 2nd & 3rd base when the ball is blocked in an out-of-play area from an overthrow (dugout). Runner was headed back to 2nd base when the overthrow occurred.
Is the runner awarded one or two bases?
If the runner was headed back to 2nd is that counted as one base and then you give them 3rd as well?
Or is the runner awarded 3rd and home since the runner does not need to retouch 2nd and not counted as one of the two bases they are awarded by rule?
