You make the call!

[bukktown]

An odd play just happened in a game and I have no idea what the rule book states but I'm sure somebody here knows.

Situation- runner on first, 1 out, I'm batting

I hit lazy fly ball to center, I think that there are 2 outs so I send my runner to 3rd. The CF catches it and throws it in to the cutoff man. At this point I realize my mistake and watch helplessly as the CPU completes the easy double play.....

but wait! The cutoff man airmails the throw to the 1st baseman and the ball goes out of play.

Now, you make the call! What was the result of this play according to the Show?
I will make a multiple choice.

A. The runner gets a free retreat to first base.
B. The runner gets a free retreat to first base and is awarded 2nd base on the ball out of play.
C. The runner is allowed to score.
D. The double play is awarded to the fielding team. Inning over.

Also, If anyone knows how this would be ruled in real life please share!

Pretty sure it should be B.

I would guess A. and my guess on what the show ruled would be B.

He should get 3rd base, as a ball thrown into the stands awards two bases.

Rule code 7.05

[Mrmagoo]

Even if the runner leaves early and never makes it back to the base he was on before the over throw? If true that's a pretty dicked up rule in my opinion.

[xandere313]

A throw into the stands always gives the runner two base past the last base owned, so he legally held first he gets two base.

[HozAndMoose]

He was never tagged and the ball never got to 1st. He should get 3rd and thats fair. And im going to say the Show called it a double play.

[Mrmagoo]

While I'm not saying that's wrong. But I would think when you leave a base early it is no longer owned and therefore the result of this play should be that the player is lucky to get the base back with the overthrow. Again I haven't looked it up and I'm not going to waste the time, I'm sure what you listed is correct, but still think it's a dicked up rule then
