Once again this goofy ruling has reared it's ugly head. I think we need to start seeing what is in the rule and quit trying to put crap into the rule that is not there.
blarson quoted from the rule book 4.09 and the exception (which I give again) "A run shall not score if the runner advances to home base during a play in which the THIRD OUT (my emphasis) is made (1) by the B/R before he touches first base...." It doesn't say the fourth out or the advantageous out or whatever the hell you want to call it. It says the THIRD OUT.
Given R2 and R3, R3 stealing home and scoring as the B/R hits a roller to F6 who tags R2 for the non-forced THIRD OUT, after R3 scores, end of inning. See defintions section term INNING, 5.07 When three offensive players are legally put out, that team takes the field ane the opposing team becomes the offensive team. And one other interp I can not recall where it is that state the next inning begins as soon as the third out is called in the bottom of any inning. Thane
