4th Out? Count Run? Here's More...

Gee:

Correct me if I'm wrong but the tag of the runner in your example is a force so the run wouldn't count anyway. No need to go first for an appeal. Let me know if I'm reading it wrong.

I think the logic in the PBUC ruling is it's two seperate plays. OBR says you can't have two outs at the same base on the same runner. He is considered touching the base when he went by it but was then tagged trying to advance. It's two seperate questions. If they don't appeal it then run scores, if they do it doesn't. There's a some logic there. I didn't agree when they made it but I'm coming around.
