Does not touch first base

Two Outs. Runners on 2nd and 3rd. Or bases are loaded. Batter hits a ball into the gap. Batter misses 1st base and ends up on 2nd base. All runners score. Before the 1st pitch to the next batter, the pitcher appeals the play at 1st base. Umpire calls the batter out for missing the base. Third out. Can any runs score?

4.09 HOW A TEAM SCORES.
(a) One run shall be scored each time a runner legally advances to and touches first, second, third and home base before three men are put out to end the inning. EXCEPTION: A run is not scored if the runner advances to home base during a play in which the third out is made (1) by the batter-runner before he touches first base; (2) by any runner being forced out; or (3) by a preceding runner who is declared out because he failed to touch one of the bases.

Same in all codes

No they cannot as the third out was made before the batter touched first base.

The answer is right in the rule book.

4.09(a)

APPROVED RULING: Two out, bases full, batter hits home run over fence. Batter, on appeal, is declared out for missing first base. Three outs. No run counts.

Same situation this time with the batter missing second base and out on appeal. How many runs score?

Sven.....I and most on this forum could easily tell you but I listed the rule from the book in post #2. See if you can figure it out. Learn on your own and it will be much clearer for you.
