TussAgee11,

Go to bed.

The run does NOT score.

The only "timing" you should be concerned with in this situation is on your strike call.

P.S. Watch those double negatives. It makes it unfairly difficult for the reader.

Unless the strike 3 was uncaught and the BR made it to first and all other runners advanced safely, the run doesn't count. No run can score on a play where the batter-runner makes the 3rd out before touching 1st base. 4.09(a)(1) and A.R.

Interesting how this almost happenened in the CWS final...

The catcher didn't actually catch the third strike, although the PU called the Batter out. And the runner would have gotten to home before a tag from the catcher.

Just interesting how I play so wierd I thought about in my mind just about happened in the CWS.

Thanks for the rules, SDS.

. . . as normal Harold Reynolds even screwed up the CWS play.

Reynolds: "Lucky the catcher caught the ball or the run would have scored."

I can't find a little figure head that shows me sadly shaking my head from side-to-side.

Lah Me.
