Passing a runner
ASA FP or SP with home runs available.
Bases loaded, two outs, bottom of 7th, home down by 3 runs.
B6 hits a ball deep, R5 got a late start off of 1st base watching the ball clear the centerfield fence. BR/R6 catches and passes R5 between 2nd & 3rd base.
You, as the umpire, allow 4 runs to score. Defense protests that there was a passing the runner violation after the first two runners crossed the plate.
Valid protests? Who wins the game? As the UIC, what rule do you cite to validate your ruling?
