Runner going from 1st to 3rd on a single. I'm PU so I get into position for the play at 3rd. The ball gets there, but the 3rd baseman drops it. He is in front of the bag. The runner jumps over/around the 3rd baseman and reaches back to the bag. There was never a tag, and I called him safe.
Should he have been out for jumping over the 3rd baseman?
My rule book and case book are on my desk at school. I know I had a question on my test this year about leaping over a defensive player who is lying on the ground.
Go ahead and let me have it...
