3. At least two runners on and batter hits pop up down first base line. Runners are off on the pitch and batter interferes with the fielder. You adjudge that if fielder had caught ball, defense could have retired both runners before they were able to return safely.

1. The defense has to touch the ball to execute the appeals.
2. That's only two outs.
3. See # 2. You can't get a triple play on this.
