2 outs, batter hits ball between outfielders. Batter-runner misses 2B, pulls up at 3B when F8, known to have a gun, fires a bullet towards 3B. Ball sails way over F5's head, clears dugout, and last seen bouncing off red SUV 6 rows into parking lot.
"Dead Ball" says Blue. "Appeal at 2B" screams defensive coach, "she missed the base." First base coach is telling his runner to go back to 2B, says to BU "she gets to complete her running during dead ball before you award her bases, right blue!" 2nd Defensive coach is screaming "NO way! She has to stay at 3B." 3B coach wants her to go home, knowing she gets that base award.
1. Do you allow her to return to second, deny the appeal, and award her home. Run scores, still two outs.
2. Not allow her to return to 2B, grant the appeal. No runs, end of inning.
3. Not allow her to return, award her home, grant appeal. Timing play, run scores, end of inning.
4. If you said no to #1, is there anyway you could say yes?
