But if it is going to be a dead ball, I like the NCAA's effect which awards a base to all runners, not just those forced. That would account for any OBS where a runner not forced being returned to a base if attempting to steal on the play and the special rule (8.1.D.4) for CO in an attempted squeeze play.
I agree. I see no reason why we shouldn't let this play out (once the rule changes, of course). Runners can certainly still score, and the coach may choose the result of the play rather than take the award. Just seems to make the most sense (thus, my initial answer).

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
