• Two: If the umpire determined R1 was injured and, in the umpire’s judgement, requires immediate attention prior to B4 passing the runner, the umpire should have called Dead Ball and awarded the injured player and all other runners the base they would have reached in their judgement. Rule 4, Section 10.
Awards after all is over.
B4 passing R1 is ignored as a result of the obstruction.
If play is stopped while B4 is still running but no play at the plate for evidence, then the award has to be purely judgement of the umpire.
It seems either home or 3rd could be judged for R1, 3rd or 2nd for B4.
USA RULES !
Your opinion?
