a.The ball is "dead" on the obstruction of R2 by F6. Score R3, award R2 third and award BR second if he had touched first before the obstruction of R2.
b.R2 is out for the third out. The other action occurred after the side had been retired.
c.Inning is over, the out stands for the third out.
d.If R3 has not touched home when the BR is called out, the run would not count.

3. The pitch clock is paused for any of the following reasons,

a.A fielder is delayed in returning to his position after attempting to field a foul ball.
b.The batter is delayed in returning to the dirt area around home plate following his running out of a foul ball.
c.The pitcher is delayed in returning to the dirt circle because he was backing up a play.
d.The pitcher disengages the pitching rubber.

D is the only choice for 2, as lousy as it is.

3 has to be a mistake. A, B and C are all valid reasons to pause the clock, D is not. The question should read: "In which of the following situations should the pitch clock not be paused?"

But, if D is correct, then it was Type 2 OBS. That makes answers B and C also correct.

If it was Type 1, then the first two parts of A are correct, but I'd disagree with the award to BR (and the reasoning).

That makes sense, but I'm not sure you can answer a test question based on the question being a typo.

Good questions by Ceasers Ghost and UMPTTS43. I'm sure I'll see one or more of them on my test.
