Our umpire was a kid and he had no idea what the ruling was. It was no big deal, because it wasn't a close game and it was in the last inning. But, I'm just curious if the run counts or not.

Hope I explained this clearly. Thank you!!

LOL thats a good one. Ya gotta be quick to think up stuff like that on the fly.
