Rules: OBR
situation: man on 3rd with 1 out. batter bunts the ball but steps squarely in the middle of the plate. catcher fields the ball, throws to 1st and the 1st baseman then throws to 3rd and catches the runner. Rule 6.06(a) says the batter is out but is it also a dead ball per 5.09(d)? We had a split decision on this at the end of a time limit game. If the ball was dead the game was over, if still alive we play one more inning due to the double play.
