MC-

I agreed with you until I reread the stitch for a third time. The runner from 3rd scores. When the runner from 2nd misses the plate, the previous runner (the one that just scored) picked her up and moved her to the plate. That would be physically assisting a runner would it not? I know it's illegal for a coach to do so, I'm assuming it is for a fellow player to physically assist as well. If she would have told the other runner to go back and touch the plate all is well, but she physically assisted the runner in going back and touching the plate.

My line on the play:
-Batter out, D3K with first occupied less than 2 gone.
That makes 2 outs.
-Runner from 3rd scores
-Runner from 2nd is out for receiving physical assistance from a teammate for the third out, end of inning.
