The umpire is then directed to employ common sense and fairness and place the runners such that the act of the ball becoming dead is nullified. The umpire may not, however, enforce any outs that he thinks may have occurred had the ball remained live. Outs occurring before the ball went out of play stand.


Tim.

The NCAA ruling is the same as the OBR ruling.

Oh, I get it. I thought this thread was about Prince rather than Cecil.

The Orioles' left fielder, Ed Rogers, lost one up his sleeve against the Mets yesterday. Bizarre. He tried to short-hop the ball and missed, the ball rolled right up his sleeve and over the top of his shoulder, emerging at the back of his neck and finally dropping.
