Glad to know that the time of the USC determines where we place runners. That was the one dangling thread. Apparently everything that happens until that point stands, so a batter who tries for an inside-the-park home run and deliberately mangles the catcher is out and ejected, but any runs already across count.

This means that on the play where BR gets a game-winning single and then punches F3, the run counts and the game is over as long as the punch came after the run.

Is the USC out to be extended beyond physical actions (throwing bat, malicious contact) to insults and obscene gestures? Guess so.

In the play where F3 starts a fight with the BR, I'd treat that separately.

What about this: Abel on 3B, Baker on 1B. Charles hits a line drive that F5 spears. Charles throws his bat, and F5 tries to double Baker up on 1B and throws the ball away. Charles was already out. Can his USC kill the play? What if Baker was indeed doubled off 1B?
