Still up in the air for me. FED rule 2-20-2 says, "A half inning ends when there is a third out or when, in the last inning, the winning run has scored. IN EITHER CASE, IF THERE IS A DELAYED OUT DECLARED BY THE UMPIRE FOR A BASERUNNING INFRACTION, A POSSIBLE FOURTH OUT MAY BE RECOGNIZED." Isn't a BR not reaching first base a baserunning infraction? And if it's recognized wouldn't you negate the run in FED (really, in all levels) because the BR never reached first base to end the innning? I guess I just like beating my head against the wall...
