OK
I get it.My apologies.
I was incorrect.
If retiring R2 is the 3rd out, then the inning is over and the batter who succeds the batter who struck out, will start at the plate next inning.
However ( and this is where I erred ), if retiring R2 is the 1st or 2nd out, and Batter/runner has advanced to 1st base, then B/R is safe and the next batter in the lineup comes to the plate.
Also, if retiring R2 is the 1st or 2nd out, and B/R gives up his right to 1st ( goes to the dugout, etc. ), then he is also out and the next batter in the line-up shall bat at the next time at bat for their team.
Got lost on that Pitch-in-the-dirt thing.
Egg on my face.
Oh well.
