Dropped third strike situations
Ok...here we go...
Girls U14 ASA Rules Situation # 1 Bases loaded Two Outs Called third strike Pass ball by catcher runner on third scores other runners advance (3rd, 2nd base) Batter runs to first and is thrown out. Questions 1) Does the run score? 2) Is the third strike throw out considered a ' force out ' ? Situation #2 Bases loaded Two Outs Fielders Choice by batter (any fielder ) Third out is made by a force (any base ) The runner from third base crosses home plate BEFORE the third force out is made. Question.... Does the run count? Please only answer if you KNOW THE CORRECT ANSWER....please do not giva an OPINION. Thanks...Mike thxxxx |
Sit 1, Q1. No. Rule 5-5-B-1, assuming you mean the BR was put out prior to reaching 1B (you didn't QUITE say that.)
Sit 1, Q2. No. Rule 1 Force Out. Sit 1: No. 5-5-B-1 again. |
Tom clarify
The run scored BEFORE batter was thrown out at first base

The rule is clear. No run scores on a play if the third out of the inning is the result of either the batter-runner being called out prior to reaching first base, or any other runner is forced out. Neither of these circumstances are timing issues; the run does not score. Not in USA/ASA, not in any version of softball (or even in baseball). |

He might have an issue with what a play is. But I have heard of BB and SB "umpires" allowing the run to score based on the timing. Maybe he's been exposed to such types.
