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.

Passing a base in my understanding is the same as touching it until of course an appeal.

...we'll have fun and a likely ejection, since we don't do appeals in FED ball. Don't ask me why, we just don't...if we see it, we call it. If we don't, we don't. In the case of this play, we'll likely be ejecting the OC after explaining to him why his run will not count. Or, ejecting the DC if U1 didn't see the B/R miss first base from the C and the DC saw it...

SAY WHAT?

"we don't do appeals in FED ball."

Please enlighten us? This IS, 2010 isn't it?

What dash said...

For whatever reason (my eighth year of FED ball and I still don't know the reason behind it...maybe lawump will read this and chime in...) we do not do appeals in South Carolina. If we see an appealable play, we call it. The burden is not on the defense to appeal, it is done automatically (assuming it is seen by the umpire).

That said, the longtime head of baseball in the SC High School League has retired, so maybe this quirk will be on its way out soon. I can only hope...

Do you actually have a rule about the order of the calls? Presumably the runner from second missed third before the batter-runner missed first; but what if it didn't happen in that order?

It's the order of the appeals that matters, not the order in which the infractions occurred.
