Question; Is the batter out Dropped third Strike with first base occupied with less than two out. Or, does the batter get first base for the pitch lodge in umpires paraphernalia.
The ball becoming lodged in the umpire's paraphernalia does not change rule 6.09 (b). The batter does not become a runner on an uncaught third strike with less than two out and first base occupied. He is not entitled to first base.
