 Let me see if I can do this:
1.  Catcher's interference and a play follows where the batter does not reach first and all runners don't advance at least one base
2.  Pitcher doctors ball and a play follows where the batter does not reach first and all runners don't advance at least one base
3.  The fourth out where an appeal play is made on a play where the third out is made and the coach has the option of taking the out that gives them the bigger advantage.
How did I do?
