Well, if the Wendelstedt Commission would get off OBR 7.10d and it's cross reference to 4.09c and 9.02b long enough to consider the results of the entire play from start to finish, maybe they would be wise enough to wipe off that run that scored during the play. Begin with OBR 7.01, go to 10.06f, move onto 8.05j and end upon 4.11. There is enough evidence here to overturn the Wendelstedt decision not to grant an appeal on the play.
All the Wendelstedt decision does is to ignore the facts and toss stuff out. For example, the BR status is known, it is an umpire judgement call, and it is part of the play. What authority gives them the right to set that aside? Then no one has suggested how to score the run at the end of the game when batter-runner's are required to touch first base. What authority do we have other than the NCAA version quoted above? Finally we have not even dealt with the BR's action to justify the one base award. What authority grants the BR the right to occupy either home or entitle him to first base after the play ends.

Do you actually believe your dribble or just trolling? Either way, no matter how you think the rules you cite contribute to your arguement, you have a poor understanding of the applicable rules, their intent, and how they are to be used concerning the spirit of the game.
