Balk then missed base
The following is from another board.
Senior LL baseball, 4-man umpire crew, bottom of the 7th and visitors up by 1 run, 2 outs, 2-2 count on batter and R2. Pitcher begins his stretch and balks (not important how) but pitches anyway (I hate when they do that). Batter laces one to right-center. R2 scores and BR ends up at 2B.
DM comes out and asks U2, who called the balk, about the situation. U2 is not sure what to do so the crew huddles. PU correctly rules that, since the BR reached 1B and all other runners advanced at least one base safely that "play proceeds without reference to the balk."
DM goes to the mound for a quick conference with the pitcher and infielders and then goes to the dugout. Ball is put back into play when the pitcher toes the rubber, the pitcher disengages properly and throws to F3. F3 appeals that the BR missed 1B and U1 rings him up. That's 3 outs.
Ok, so now what?
