LL runner goes

Can somebody state once again that play in which the LL runner goes "poof"Â—disappears from the bases without being put out or scoring?

LL 7.13 "(c) when any base runner leaves the base before the pitched ball has reached the batter and the batter bunts or hits a ball within the infield, no run shall be allowed to score If three runners were on the bases and the batter reaches first base safely, each runner shall advance to the base beyond the one they occupied at the start of the play except the runner who occupied third base, which runner shall be removed from the base without a run being scored."

This is also referred to as the "How To Drive Scorekeepers Crazy Rule".

Thanks, bluezebra. So in LL, a team could bat more than 6 batters in an inning and still not score. Yes, a scorekeeper's nightmare. I wonder what the record is for batters in an inning without scoring.

I highly doubt anyone keeps a record of this in LL.
