Could you elaborate on this?

It is a Little League rule, 7.13, I believe. It is part of the their rule against "leaving early."
Basically, if bases are loaded and a runner leaves early when a ball is bunted or hit in teh infield for a single, the runner at third evaporates, disappears. (the POOF! rule): He is not allowed to score and he is not counted as being out. He's just gone.
