Here is the sitch. Runners on 2nd and 3rd and 1 out. 3-0 count and I from B position call balk. Score R3 and place R2 at 3rd. Junior high game so pitcher asks and I explain. Return to B position and my partner puts ball in play and pitcher pitches.
Ground ball to 2nd baseman and I notice runner going from 1st to 2nd. R1 is safe at 2nd and BR is out at 1st.
Runner from 3rd scores.
I call time and ask PU where R1 came from. He doesn't know.
I go to home book and ask to see it and find out if I missed placing the runner.
As it turns out, runner on 1st was batter and had a 3-0 count when he took off for 1st after the balk.
Now what?!
After much thought this is what I went with.
I called batting out of order. I placed runner from 3rd who scored back to 3rd.
Called the proper batter, now runner at 2nd, out.
And placed the batter who grounded out, the proper batter, back at the plate to bat.
Did I kick this or do you have anything else?
