Game Situation: Out of Play II



The batter grounds to the 3rd baseman, who misplays the ball and does not make a throw to first... until he see the batter-runner touch 1st base and make the turn (the batter thought his hit went into the outfield). The 3rd baseman then fires the ball to 1st, but throws it out of play. This throw was the first throw/play by an infielder on a batted ball -- so where does the umpire place the batter-runner?

Call
If every runner, including the batter-runner, has advanced one base at the time of
the first play, the award is two bases from the time of the throw, NF 8-3-5. In this case, the batter-runner would be awarded third base.
