In a perfect world where the umpire's always know where the play is going to be, PU. Unfortunately, the players are not always accommodating

I'll second that. The runner from second should have just stayed there. Everything hinged on the runner from third making it home.

So, had the runner from second been called out at third, who would have make the call on whether the run would count or not? That might have been a wild scene!

And the manual just seemed to not acknowledge anything beyond the lead runner for the PU.
