Thanks for the confirmation. I couldn't remember the rule exactly or the number to cute it Unfortunately, the umpires didn't remember it and it's under protest as they allowed the "winning" run to count. So they will be reconvening to finish the game.

How about if the runner succesfully steals home on a 2-2 pitch with 2 outs and it is a dropped 3rd strike and the catcher has to throw the ball to 1B to record the out. Does the run count?

No.

No runs score when the third out is made by the batter-runner before he reaches first base.

So, you mean, how about exactly the same situation that was just answered? Um... same answer.

Not the same situation. The count was 1-2.
