Had a similar one a couple of years ago in a Varsity BB game.
R3 only, two outs. Batter strokes a base hit to left field, and attempts to advance to 2nd. R3 trots home, stops about 2 feet short of home to pick up discarded bat and stands watching the play at 2nd. BR is called out for #3, and I signal and announce "Run does not score" Head coach comes trotting down from 3rd questioning how the run could not score. I explain, and R3 just stands there holding the bat looking very sick as the coach begins to approach him. I retrete a discrete distance to give them their privacy.
