(On the other hand, if they'd just played on the runner going to third that would be the result.) Last edited by youngump; Fri Nov 03, 2017 at 03:27pm. |

In section 12.19, page 147, one sentence stands out. "If the batter-runner has not touched first base at the time of the interference, each base runner shall return to the base legally occupied at the time of the pitch." In your example of the runner going from 1st to 2nd and after being put out, interferes with the throw to 1st, we have a dead ball. The runner closest to home (runner going from 2nd to 3rd) is now called out for the 3rd out which is not a force out. If the batter-runner had reached 1st before this interference, the run will count. If the batter-runner had NOT reached 1st before this interference then all runners return to the base occupied at the time of the pitch negating the run and putting the runner who crossed home plate back at 3rd base. I read this to mean that even if this was not the 3rd out, the run would still be taken off the board which i don't think anyone was considering (and actually sounds pretty odd). I think this answers your question. I don't see a similar explanation in the USA book or the 2012 ASA case book, but it would sure help. Last edited by josephrt1; Sun Nov 05, 2017 at 10:12pm. |

That comment addresses the batter-runner interfering with a D3K situation or bunt, most likely with a squeeze play on, which will send the runner from 3B back (even if she had crossed the plate before BR's INT). Doesn't pertain to a retired runner situation.

There is no mention of a D3K in this section. |

Nope, didn't mention only D3K, also mentioned bunt attempt... the Effect is a general explanation of INT penalties, and a list of those who could conceivably commit INT. One of which is the BR.
The next section then goes on to itemize the penalties for each individual player in that list. |

The case in the original post is covered by 12.19.2.5, and AR 12.19.2.5 specifically says the run would be taken away for the situation in the original post). But in the added scenario by Youngump i don't find the exact situation in the rule book. But the general statement about the run not counting if the batter-runner had not reached first base seems to apply. Even if the runner closest to home is called out (runner going from 2nd to 3rd) and this is not a force, it seems the decision to count or not count the run is determined by the position of the batter-runner as stated in 12.19. If batter-runner has reached first at the time of the interference, count the run. if the batter runner has not reached first, remove the run tally. What am I missing? |
