Checked swing-D3K
Posting this because I promised a fellow umpire I would.
2 outs. 0-2 count. Checked swing, ball touches the ground, F2 fires to F3 (Batter isn't running),
F3 touches 1B. No call by BU.
DC (or F2, whatever) appeals the check swing. F3 says, "yes, she went".
At this point F3 is leaving the field after tossing the ball to the circle.
Can you see what's about to happen here?
BU's call is, the 3rd strike wasn't effective until it was appealed to him, hence F3's touch of 1B did not result in an out. It has to be touched again.
