Here is a play from tonight's game
R1 on 2nd and 2 outs. B2 hits a grounder to center field. R1 crosses HP but doesnt touch it, B2 is tagged out sliding into 2nd for the 3rd out, R1 goes back and touches HP. Defensive team appeals R1 run should not count because he did not touch HP till after the 3rd out was recorded.
Right or wrong we did count the run my theory was the runner is assumed safe when he misses a bag and even though the 3rd out happen before R1 went back to touch he did touch before the defensive team appealed
All replies appreciated
