aevans410,
I understand the dilema for finding a rule to cover this.
That is why I thought 8-3-32 might ( although it could be considered a reach to reality ) be a reference.
It says, in part " Each runner is awarded . . two bases if a fair batted or thrown ball . . . . goes into a stand for spectators, dugout or player's bench . . and it is not thrown by a pitcher from his plate . . " . Now I understand that is a stretch, but in our post, it was thrown by an outfielder to the catcher who ultimately carried it into the dugout ( dead ball territory ). Is this the rule to cover the situation? I sure don't know. But I'll take any help I can get on this one.
Bob Jenkins where are you ?
Help.
