• One: If R1 is passed before the umpire can signal dead ball due to an injured player, then once B4 passed R1 time should have been called since this was now the third out. Rule 8, Section 7D Effect 2. We should then enforce the obstruction and award the bases the runner and batter-runner would have reached had there been no obstruction.
Awards after all is over.
B4 passing R1 is ignored as a result if the obstruction.
I read the play above as R1 would have reached home (as B4 almost did).
R1 should be awarded home.
After the passing of R1, B4 was out at the plate and should remain out.
But, can the umpire judge that B4 was only out at home because of avoiding R1 and therefore should be awarded home?
USA RULES !
Your opinion?
