It was baseball, but still never seen it before. Sons game last night and the kid hits the ball, runs to 1st. The throw got past the 1st baseman, while R1 was turning to come back to the base, he just picks the ball up and proceeds to hold it for a bit, then give it to 1st baseman again. Meanwhile, R2 was rounding to score.
They ruled it as R2 stops on 3rd, and R1 stays on first. No penalty.
Was this correct? If no, what should the correct ruling be? I've never seen this, every time I've had someone interfere with a ball, it's been someone who was not involved, like a player in dugout, or runner who scored going back to dugout, etc.....
