"You all are replying very confidently that there is a rule that limits 7.08 (a)(5) from "Any runner" to the "first runner" that fails to keep contact with the base. Please post.
So to answer U of M as best as I can. I don't see in rule 7.08 (a)(5) anywhere that says you can ring up three outs...or even two outs...but I don't see where it says anything about only one either. I do see where it says "Any" runner. Probably my bad research. You clearly know right where I should be looking. Please post."
Try reading the next sentence in the rule book.
PENALTY: The ball is dead. "No Pitch" is declared, and the runner is out. Eight (8) foot radius circle must be properly marked.
1) Once the first runner steps off the ball is dead and the action's of the others never occur.
2) There are no ties. That why we get the big bucks.
