Pitcher throws to unoccupied base

hoover 1Member

pitcher today does the up and over move to 2nd as my runner is breaking on 1st movement to steal 3rd. Pitcher does not throw anywhere immediately, but starts toward the runner. After a couple of steps he throws to 3rd, and my guy is tagged out. I call for balk for throwing to unoccupied base. I had some people saying no balk, some saying balk. Umps said it only applied when 1st base was in question. Later on home plate ump said he blew the call, that it should have been a balk. Someone please clarify this.
