I've also had this happen. Runner on first takes off for second on a steal and arrives there safely. Batter strikes out and runner on second thinks it is 3 outs when it is only 2. Ball is back in the circle when the runner on second starts walking toward first base and her dugout. Do you call her out for coming off the base while the pitcher has the ball in the circle? Dave

Dave,

In the situation as you have described it, I would have an out. It's the player's responsibility to know the game situation.
