Run Score?

[RonRef]

Runners on second and third and one out, batter hits a ball to the gap and both runners on the move. The left fielder makes a great diving catch, the runner from third has already crossed the plate and the runner from second is well beyond third. The LF throws the ball into second base to double off the runner from second for the third out, does the runner from third score???

[Rich Ives]

Yes, unless the defense appeals the leaving early.

[mcrowder]

Yes, the run scores ... so far.

The defense would still be allowed to appeal the runner leaving early from 3rd, even though they have already gotten 3 outs. But if the defense simply leaves the field after getting the runner at 2nd, then yes - the run scores.

This is a screwy one.

Not really. Pretty basic 4th out stuff.

Does the "13" in your handle refer to your umpire number, a LL designation of some sort, the level of ball you work, your age or none of the above?

I always thought this guy was Dan Marino.

It all fits - PA, 13, Dan, etc...

PA LL District 13 < District 13 Umpire. Although with the younger kids 9-10; some 11-12 i umpire; i can see something like this happening. But This was one that i do not know a ruling on. But after thinking about it i come up with the exact same thing as the other guys did.

Yessir. Of course, in real life, the defense would leave the field after the first appeal, and their skip would have an aneurysm when the run goes into the book.
