Rule 9-1w...The ball is dead when a foul ball is caught and the batter has 2 strikes.
Abel on 3B. No outs. With 2 strikes, the batter lines a ball down the 3B line and Abel takes off for home. F5 dives across the 3B line, catches the ball, and steps on 3B for the . . . oops, strike 3 and Abel returns to 3B.
Every code has its dumb rules, but you have to wonder what somebody was thinking.
