That run was scoring with or without a perfect throw, and in fact Ichiro was going to get to firstbase safely regardless as well, hence the reason the official scorer gave him the base hit and RBI.  Incidently that base hit sent Ichiro past the great Edgar for the all time mariner lead in base hits.  Which is totally amazing to me.  Exactly 10 years and 2 games, for Ichiro to catch and pass a HOFer in hits that took 18 years to get there.  Ichiro is amazing.  First Ballot HOF if ever there was one (of course Edgar should have been first ballot as well, but that is a different argument for a different day, GO ICHIRO!).
On a different note, how nervous does this M's bullpen make you?  I sure wish Wedge would have gone with Lueke before Ray.  We were lucky to get out of that Ray inning only tied instead of way behind!
