I was playing the board game "Rules of the Game," and was sure I knew the answer to this one....but didn't (unless the game's answer was incorrect).

Play: With two outs, runners on 2nd and 3rd, and a 3-2 count on the batter, the batter swings and misses. The ball is completely missed by the catcher and sticks in the umpire's mask. The base runners both score and the batter makes second, before the ball can be dislodged.

What's the appropriate ruling?

I said what I thought, but was wrong!! I looked up the rule, and it supports what I say (I'll tell you that later). I hope the board game is wrong this time. Last time it was me!
