Two players on the same base with contact
 

OBR rules, no outs
Men on R1 and R2. After a over throw at first both base runners advance. R2 thinking he can make it home rounds 3B and R1 seeing this goes into 3B also. R2 rethinks and slides back to 3B hard. On his slide he inadvertently makes contact with R1 which is standing on 3B. There was another over throw at 3B so both runners go home to score. R1 never passed R2 at any time. So the short version is there were 2 offensive players on third base at the same time and there was slight contact between the two. Do both runs score, R1 scores and R2 out or R2 scores and R1 is out. Does it matter if 2 offensive players touch while on the same base?

As long as the trail runner never passed (past? :D ) the lead runner, no penalty, score both.

Mi-Umpire,

Well, depending on the nature of the "touching", there are some juridstictions that have "morality" statutes that could apply; but, in terms of OBR, I'm with LMan. ;)

You perv!!:D

Both runs score. (Whew, we got lucky on that one coach.)

Well, the OP did specify men on R1 and R2. Sounds like one of our San Francisco games.:)

Did he touch him hard? Did he hardly touch him?:rolleyes:
