Need help on this one.....
Runner at first, batter hits a long ball to the fence (200') R1 advances to 3B on the hit and then scores on a bad throw. Batter/Runner is at second (legit double).
Base umpire sends R1 back to 3B claiming he left early from 1st. I thought that any leaving early was null if the pitch was put in to play as a hit???? It could have made a difference on the outcome except our runner ended up scoring on the next pitch (passed ball).
Am I correct in assuming that leaving early is null if the pitch is hit??? Thanks for your help.
