Starting from Tom's originial post and not reading the
last few replies, I will again attempt to give my answers
and then the guru's can hammer away.
Bases loaded, tie game, 7th inning, home team at bat with 2 outs. Ball 4, winning run is walked in.
a) BR does not advance to 1st, but enters dugout.
Out - ASA Rule 8-2D [BR Is Out] Fails to advance,
enters DBT.
b) R1 does not advance to home, but enters dugout.
Out - ASA Rule 8-7U [Runner Is Out] Runner left (abandons), base enters DBT.
Do you call either runner out? Both
Are either of these appeal plays? No
Is there a difference between a) and b)? Yes
BR did not abandon a base, she never had it. Just left
field of play.
R1 abandons a base she had and enters DBT.
ASA Rules, fast pitch please.
