[QUOTE=mcrowder]Bases loaded, no outs. Batter lines to F6, who immediately tags R2 who had moved about 3 steps on the pitch and didn't have time to get back. R1, who had not moved off the base at all until after the catch, jogs home unnoticed as F6 celebrates. Coaches yell, "That's 5!" (5 run per inning rule in this league), and everyone but the pitcher runs off the field. F6 had rolled the ball to the mound. R3 went straight from the vicinity of F4 to her third base dugout. At least 10 seconds go by as 1 singular assistant coach is yelling at her pitcher to stop. Finally gets her attention about 2 steps shy of the foul line, tells her to go get the ball. Then tells her to go touch 1st. She finally does so. BU has actually already gone to his holding area in RF, as I'm watching and waiting. This whole thing had to take at least 45 seconds. Triple play.[/QUOTE
If R1 was the fifth run, then inning over as there was no force play remaining to nullify the run by R1. Technically, it would be a triple play under regular circumstances or if R1 was only the 1-4 runs scored.
