Cool

Found this on another site just wondered if any agree with the last part of the umpire's ruling and if anybody ever seen it called!!

[b]Question
Umpire's Reply
Two outs. Bases loaded. Ground ball to second.
The runner from third scores prior to the force out
at second. does the run count? I say no, but the
ump allowed the run to count....
Any time there is a force play for the third
out,the run would not count. The only
exception to this might be if the runner going
home from third was obstructed by the
defense, in which case the run would count.
The umpire could make this call to avoid
giving the defense license to obstruct,
thereby "awarding" the run.



I like to hear this one explain to the coach
