Game Situation: Place the Runners
With one out and bases loaded, the batter hits a line-drive to the shortstop, which is caught for the second out of the inning. After the catch, the shortstop sees that R3 is about 3 feet from 3rd base, R2 is about 3 feet from 2nd base, but R1 is about 20 feet from first base -- so the shortstop throws over to 1st base in attempt to complete an inning-ending double play. However, the shortstop's throw gets past the 1st baseman and out of play. Where do the umpires place R3, R2, and R1?
Extra Credit: Is there any problem if each runner advances to his awarded base without properly tagging up by re-tagging their base? Do you have to tag-up when the umpire awards you a base in this situation?
