Home run?

[johnnyg08]

Isn't this the situation where no appeal is necessary if the runners fail to complete running the bases? I haven't looked this one up yet, but I think there's a case play almost exactly like this in the MLBUM and JEA might have one as well.

As umpires we could possibly have two outs on this play if there are less than two outs at the time of the homerun and both runner abandon their efforts to continue running the bases...if that's the case, we could still have a tie game right? With two outs...we might still have a tie game based on a time play and the B/R does reach 1B.

I'm going to look it up now.

Nope. The game would be over, with the visiting team winning. No run can score when the third out is made on a batter-runner before reaching first base.

In the OP, we need more information, as greymule asked.

Runner already reached 1B though. I thought it said that in the OP. That changes things doesn't it?

You're right. I misread the OP. Definitely changes things.
