yes, positive as confirmed by Comp. I quoted the USA rule and other rule sets are the same.Are you positive? That's what I was thinking too, but I seem to have some remembrance that the batter is awarded their bases from home if it's the first throw, therefore she gets second. It's hazy though and I haven't read a rule book in a couple of years.
In most cases the award would look the same weather awarded from home or from the runners position, but there are some subtle differences that could burn you on the placement of other runners.
Here is a challenging example: R1 on 1st stealing on the pitch. Fly ball to F7 is caught. R1 was headed back to 1B when F7 threw ball to F3 to appeal runner leaving early. Throw goes out of bounds. R1 awarded 2 bases.Where you going to put R2 (assuming she goes back and touches bases in correct order and tags up at 1st base)? The last base she touched was 2B.
The rule says 2 bases from position of runner when throw left her hand. R1 will be awarded 2nd and 3rd because she was between 1st and 2nd.
If the runner had rounded 2nd and was between 2nd and 3rd at time of throw, guess what, runner gets awarded home (still needs to return and tag up).
