As R1 returns to 3B, the BR stands halfway between 2B and 3B trying to get the defense to play on him. The defense then plays on the BR, who gets himself caught in a rundown while R1 looks for an opportunity to score.

I think that qualifies as INT on the BR, even though you could argue that the defense should know that he was already out.

Your joking right?

Your going to let that batter go that far without having announced at least 4-5 more times that the batter is out?

At that point the only thing it quailifies for is stupidity, on the batter, the defense and the umpire. I can only see this happening in one of my T-Ball games. If I should ever happen to do one!!!!!

Come on now?? You have to be kidding?
