The Play

I've done a little editing for an easier read, but Tom McCarville originally posted the play on Eteamz.

Start of play score = 9-7 top of 6th, favor the "D".

Sacs loaded. One out. Obvious extra base hit possibility by "BR".
R1 from 3rd scores. R2 from 2nd comes home looks like 9-9 but missed 3rd base on the way home.

R3 from 1st had also scored on the play.
At that point it looks like 10-9 for the "O" team.

"BR" going into 2nd after touching 1st base slows up when ball gets to the infield near 2nd base & gets in a "pickle".

"BR" got caught in a run down". Ruled out by running out of the baseline.
Out # 2.

That runner was ruled out after the R3 from 1st scored.
No runners on base & 10-9 score favoring the "O".

Then the "D" calls for an appeal on R2 for missing 3rd.

Ump rules "OUT". Then stated 3rd out & only the 1st runner scored because R2 actually made the 3rd out on appeal, therefore the following "R"'s couldn't score.
Ending top of the 6th with score 9-8 favoring the "D".
"O" wants to protest the Umps ruling.

Ump takes protest.

After the discussion re: the ruling,
he calls game because its to dark to continue.
Game over 9-8 & old "D" wins the game as "O" protests the win.
