Tough nuggies, but that's baseball. Of course the run could not factor in the results after completing the game under protest. If TD or LP is nearby, there is MLB front office support for removing the run 3 innings later. Though I would be cautious about making up rules under OBR 9.01c in this situation because I do not expect this to be in the list of rule changes for 2008.  |
In 2006 BRD 471, page 285, Carl writes, "Note 422: Illegal substitutions is one of nine major rule situations where each level treats the play differently."
It is much easier to read page 287, "BRD 476 Substitutes: Pinch Runner: Illegal" to more easily understand those differences.
In summary, upon proper appeal: FED: run nullified. NCAA: Out and run nullified. OBR: Not out and run scores.
