However, after a meeting of 4 umpires and the plate umpire talking to someone by phone; the runners were returned to their prior bases.
Is baseball different in this way, or did I misunderstand the ruling, or were they wrong?  |
I doubt very seriously that the runners reached the next base before the INT, especially when there is no lead offs in this LL division.
As for FED, it's TOI. Other rule sets may be TOP with the BR. Others will clarify!
