Our Men's Industrial League is using ASA rules. I'm unable to find a rule book, so I would like your input on these two incidents.
1)R1 on 1B, 1 out. BR hits line-drive to F6. F6 intentionally drops the ball and turns 6-4-3 double play. Is this a legal play? The umpire didn't really know what to call, so she let the play stand.
2)R1 on 3B, R2 on 1B. 1 out. BR hits fly ball to F9. R1 thinking there was 2 out, ran on contact. F9 catches and throws ball to 1B for a double-play and the 3rd out. Meanwhile R1 crosses homeplate before throw gets to 1B. Does the run count?
Thanks for any input.
