Also, does your keyboard havepunctuation marks?

No, Bob. I call dead ball as soon as the runner leaves the base because everyone knows the runner cannot lead in softball. d:-)

And, no runs can score when the 3rd out is a force or prior to the BR reaching 1B safely. Now, if it were a live ball appeal at 1B then the runner gets nailed at the plate, you've got a different play and ruling.
