Do you really intend to win this argument on the basis that a runner from Delaware might have actually been taught to count backwards beginning from 3?
I never stated or insinuated anyone count backwards, just that the ASA rule book simple states the runner must touch each of the 4 bases to score a run, not that they must be run in that particular order like NFHS rules do (8.3.1)
