Fly ball to F8, that's caught. Can runner from third tag up and attempt to score? Or is inning over because of the auto out on the next batter?
When exactly does the third out take effect?
Thanks

I don't do NSA, but I would say that the auto-out would not occur until all playing action from #9's at bat ends and #10 should be entering the batters box. So yes, the tag up is absolutely legal and is the smart play in that situation.
I know in the wRECk leagues I work teams that will have the auto-out will keep the runners running to get the third out on the bases or try scoring the run, rather than having the third out be the auto-out. If puts pressure on the defense to actually make an out on the bases rather than have auto-out end the inning.
