Does the run count
 

High school varsity game: Runners on 1 and 3, 1 out, long fly ball hit to left field, caught, runner on 3 tags and scores, LF throws ball in the infield, SS cuts ball off, runner on 1 ran to 2 and now realizes she didn't tag SS then throws to 1 and they tag runner for 3 out!! So does the run count???

It is not a force, not a BR not reaching 1st, and R1 scored before the out.
So, the run counts.

If the appeal was for a missed base that was a force or 1st; that would negate the run regardless of R1 scoring first.

The play you describe is a "timing play"; meaning the scoring runner beating the play or not matters.

Welcome to the forum.
Have you really been lurking for 1 1/2 years?

Yes I have!!!! [emoji3][emoji3]

The season must be here!

Amazingly, this is the third time I've seen this question asked, on different forums, in the past two days. And not a season goes by where it doesn't come up at least a dozen times.

I have a couple of thousand games under my belt and have never had this happen to me. But it did happen in the Cleveland Indians home opener last night! The umpires got it right, but after the play the Texas manager came out to argue that the run shouldn't count.

So this one can even confuse the pros!

Well, sure....all we have to do is touch the base....that makes it a force out, right? :confused::rolleyes:

Oh brother, has that led to some hair pulling discussions.
