I have yet to have a game where I worked the plate where I had to count or disallow a run with regards to timing of the final out. As a plate umpire in a two man HS game, how would your mechanics allow you to best rule on this play? Are you looking at the plate and listening for your partner to make the call? Are you watching the runner score then immediately looking for the play on the infield? Are you watching the play on the infield and after the out is recorded checking to see where the runner is? I know that I have now asked this it will happen to me for sure this week as I have five games over four days and I want to be fully prepared to make the correct call.

I had one last Friday. R1 and R2, fly ball to RCF, R2 rounds 3B and heads for home, R1 rounds 2b and 3B coach has the stop sign up, but he is about 10 feet off the bag, throw goes behind him to 2B and he is tagged trying to get back a split second after R2 crossed the plate. I try to line it up so I can see the play and the plate at the same time along the same sight line, or at least have both in sight, even at an angle. I don't want to have to see one play (the out) and then turn to another (the touch).
