Re: OBR vs FED

I see 4.09 listed in the OBR but this game was played under Fed Rules . I am certain the rule is the same but just wanted to point that out....
As MATTMETS illustrates there is some confusion on this particular play and while I don't want to kill the reporter for making this a large part of his article the following day I will point out that it is his responsibility to get the facts correct and in this case he did not .
For the record there was one out....
The aforementioned play is ruled the same under all 3 Major Rule codes. It is a Time Play - Game Over. Here's the MAIN difference between FED / OBR on Game ending procedures.
Sitch: Game tied, bases Juiced and B1 walks
In OBR all that is required is for R3 to touch Home and B1 Touch First. (Reference OBR 4.09)
In FED (Reference rule 9-1-1 Note:2) ALL runners are required to touch their respective bases.
Exception: - Fans running wild on the field making it virtually impossible for runners to complete their base-running responsibilities.
