Whether a missed base appeal (which is still in play) or the reinstatement of the force by a retreating runner, R3 is the third out. This is a force out. No run scores.

Mike - just so I'm clear on this - are you saying that there is no "last time by" interpretation in ASA??


Thanx

Correct. In ASA you must touch the base "in order" regardless of direction. IOW, if the runner advances 1 to 2 to 3 and must return to 1, the reverse must be 3 to 2 to 1. If the runner touches 1, misses 2 and then touches 3, the reverse of 3, 2, 1 does not alleviate a missed base appeal for the first time by in ASA.
