[QUOTE=Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.;882074]NFHS Rules (and NCAA and MLB too, but keep the rulings seperate).
Situation: Two outs; R3 on 1B; two strikes on B4 (the number of balls do not matter in this Situation). B4 swings and misses on a pitch in the dirt that F2
fields the pitch (catches the ball but by rule this is an uncaught third strike). PU (does not see the pitch hit the playing surface) signals a strike; then calls Time (
), and then calls the B/R4 out. During this time R3 started to break for 2B and B/R4 started to run toward 1B.
I agree with the majority but, please take this official aside and slap them on the side of the head. I can't recall in 30 years ever seeing an official call "Time out" after a 3rd out.
Of course, if this is one of those what if, the moon is in the seventh house, and jupiter aligns with mars questions, then it speaks for itself.
