Rules Test

Rules 8-2-6k page 47 "If a baserunning infraction is the third out, runs scored by the following runner(s) would not count".

The run that scored was not "following."

Case 8.2.1 sit B

True...

I see your logic.

However, what has had me perplexed (and I just found 9-1-1a, and 8-2-6K) - the third out was the B-R prior to reaching 1B.

What has me quesitoning myself is - Is the play at 1B a timing play, or is it simply the third out at 1B before B-R reaches 1B?

I see the point and when I get back will do a little more research. I was quoting fron FED book... But might lean towards no runs due to BR not leaglly gaining 1st.

The latter.

Sorry - I didn't clarify - this is FED rules.

TussAgee's rule is still applicable as a FED rule.

Doesn't matter, except for the specific references. If the third out is on a force, or by BR before reaching first, no runs can score.

That's what I was thinking.

The above posters are correct. No runs score.
