This is from bluezebra back in 2000:

LL 7.13 "(c) when any base runner leaves the base before the pitched ball has reached the batter and the batter bunts or hits a ball within the infield, no run shall be allowed to score. If three runners were on the bases and the batter reaches first base safely, each runner shall advance to the base beyond the one they occupied at the start of the play, except the runner who occupied third base, which runner shall be removed from the base without a run being scored."

This is also referred to as the "How to Drive Scorekeepers Crazy Rule."


Under this rule, in theory at least, a team could send up batters indefinitely without scoring a run.
