MLB game, 1 out, runner on 1st. batter hits what should be a double play but the runner on 3rd crosses home plate before the 3rd out is made. Does the run score and if not is there any situation where the run would score on the 3rd out
On the normal DP, if the batter-runner is put out and is the 3rd out, the run does not score. Now if the ball is hit - say up the 1st base line to F3 - the defense may attempt a reverse DP. Now the batter-runner is the 2nd out and the run may score. The play becomes a timing play.
