Question - does runner on 2nd need to tag up, therfore is out or is runner safe at 3rd?
Dropped fly ball = runner can haul butt at their own risk. So no, there's no tag-up needed. Appeal = denied.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
