[mikelanigan]

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
