There are most certainly "ties" in baseball - the challenge is that you, as the ump, just have to figure out a consistent approach to how you're going to call those "too close to call" plays.

"Tie goes to the runner" is a myth. I have yet to see a play that was a tie in one of my games.
And what's with 1.3? What's the 0.3? Is that like a soft ground ball that would have been a close play if it hadn't rolled foul?
