How many outs?
Question: R1 on 1B, no outs. How many outs do you get when a batted ball first hits the dugout fence and then rolls down the field in foul territory and strikes the base coach's left foot?
Answer: Two. R1 and B3.
PU's explanation: The ball could have hit a rock and bounced fair, and F5 could have made a double play. Therefore the base coach prevented a potential double play, and both outs stand.
And no, a protest was not called by the offense. Go figure...
Based on a true story.
Edited to change an I to an A.
