How about this scenario then. Runner coming from first base into second. She slides into second hoping to throw the timing of the second baseman off as to not be able to complete the double play at first? The runner going into second would be retired because of the force. If there had been a runner on third base at the beginning of the play, and she hadn't scored at this time, would you rule her out? Dave

Shipwreck,
Here is where you get the controversy:Runner coming from first base into second is Ol' Slo' Jo'(sephine). She does not slide into second, in fact she never quite reaches second, she just keeps plodding toward 2nd, as F4 receives the throw and turns to relay to F3 for the DP. Now as F4 turns, she sees OSJo right in her throwing lane, so she hesitates, then side steps and throws around Jo to F3 much too late to complete the DP. So what's the call Fellas?

Out at second, safe at first. 'TIME'
