Need help on this one.....
Runner at first, batter hits a long ball to the fence (200') R1 advances to 3B on the hit and then scores on a bad throw. Batter/Runner is at second (legit double). Base umpire sends R1 back to 3B claiming he left early from 1st. I thought that any leaving early was null if the pitch was put in to play as a hit???? It could have made a difference on the outcome except our runner ended up scoring on the next pitch (passed ball). Am I correct in assuming that leaving early is null if the pitch is hit??? Thanks for your help.

BU ruled correctly. LL Rule 7.13
See Jim Booth's article at ezteamz link below. This was also discussed in archives (not too long ago). http://www.eteamz.com/baseball/rules...0Hit%20Occurs/

If a runner leaves early, all runners may advance only so far as they're forced to by action of the batter. Since the B/R ened up at 2B, R1 may oly get 3B.
If the bases are loaded, and the ball stays within the infield, NO run scores, and the bases remained loaded. Bob
