That's one that is good to know and remember because it is often misapplied.
Its listed in section 7-3-5 with ruling under the penalty.
With two outs batter always out. With less than two out batter is out and runners return. Only exception would be if a runner is attempting home etc,
This is a rule that I have seen misapplied several times each season, many times even by veteran umpires. I messed it up once "long time ago", but since have memorized it and am glad I have.
Thanks
