I was told by a HS umpire that the rule is that the throw has to go to the base where the runner left from (in this case 1st base). So no, I don't think he would be out if the throw went to second (unless he happened to still be in the area and was tagged, obv).
How that conversation started and that question came up, is a long story in itself. I never thought that I would have a chance to use this btw. Alcohol brings up some weird conversations imo.
