FED: OFF INTERP 2-3:
Hopkins: If the defense gains a third out during play, but the batter-runner has not yet reached first at the time of the out, the defense may play on him at first for an advantageous fourth out. [email to Stevens, 5/11/01] {See 9-1-1 Ex d.}
NCAA: OFF INTERP 3-3:
Fetchiet: Same as FED OFF INTERP 2-3. [Website 4/18/01, 8-6a]{See 8-6b-7}
OBR: OFF INTERP 4-3:
Fitzpatrick: Same as FED. [email to cc, 1/17/01] {See 7.10}

Play 3-3: R3, R2, 2 outs: B1 singles to the outfield but injures himself coming out of the box; he cannot continue. R3 scores easily, but R2 is thrown out at home: 3 outs. The catcher then fires to F3, who tags first in advance of B1.
Ruling: The "appeal" at first results in an advantageous fourth out that cancels R3's run.
