***
With R1, R2, and R3, and (a) two outs or (b) one out, R1 attempts to steal home. With a 1-2 count, the pitch hits R1 while the ball is in the strike zone.
RULING: In both (a) and (b), the ball becomes dead immediately and batter is out because of third strike. In (a), no run is scored since batter became third out. In (b), all base runners are awarded one base from where they were at time of pitch and R1 scores.

Why the one-base award?
