Apparently not. You can find Bob's ruling in the BRD, Section 258: Fitzpatrick: The umpires must insure the intent of the rule is enforced: They must protect the offensive team from an "undeserved" double play.That could require a belated "infield fly" ruling and revocation of subsequent action. Fitz: "Above all, do not allow a double play that should not occur." The NCAA interpretation is the same. (Thurston, phone call to cc, 2/29/00)
Carl, I've understood that, but it isn't the portion of Bob's reply I was questioning.
"In OBR, if the defense gets zero or one outs, the play stands. "
I don't find a printed reference for this. Or is it just "understood?"
