Not true: Try this:


EXAMPLE: Bases loaded, no outs. Batter hits a "clean" double, and tries for third thinking the throw is going home. The throw is cut-off and they get him out at third. Before the hit a runner left early. Guess what? The batter is out and ALL runners return. Because his out left bases empty, you put all runners back to their original bases.

In that same play, if the out on the batter had been the third out, no runs would count due to the fact that they could have been put back if it had not been the third out.
