Does the Run Score?

[tibear]

Bob, I'm assuming you would wait for the defense to leave the field before talking with scorer.

I wasn't working last night's game when this happened but both teams assumed the run didn't count so it was never recorded as such.

I assuming that the defense could have gotten a fourth out in this situation to nullify the run.

I'd use the same mechanics I'd use on any other timing play. Point to the plate and say "that run scores" as soon as there's no further play going on.

Agree. You need to make a call on the time play when it happens, whether or not it is subject to an appeal.

I agree make the announcement and you won't have to resolve the controversy latter.
