I think it's a way to cheat, albeit in a rather mild way. Personally, I wouldn't get all worked up about this or the SPR altogether. If an official interp. covers this, I have no qualms about that. My contention is that absent anything official, if someone were to do this in an attempt to otherwise circumvent the SPR mandates, then it shouldn't be permitted.
Regardless, I DO believe that having the same runner run twice in the same half-inning violates the spirit and intent of the rule. IMHO, Williamsport ought to rework this a bit.
