This happened in a game I was playing about 20 years ago & I've been curious ever since. Forgive me if this question sound stupid, but I'm not an upmire.
Runners on 1st & 2nd (ASA rules), base hit to outfield. Lead runner attempting to score arrives as thrown ball arrives at home plate. Collision takes place. Runners momentum takes him beyond home plate by several feet but he did not make contact with home plate. Ball (which was missed by the catcher) rolls to the backstop. Runner from first then cleanly touches home without incident. The pitcher picks up the ball at the backstop and tags the lead baserunner (still sprawled on the ground from collision). Does the other run (man from 1st) count or not. I thought he should have been ruled out for passing the lead runner.
