nsa slow pitch
nsa slow pitch 12"
Situation: (playing auto out , if playing short-handed). One out, runner on third, #9 batting, (#10 would be the auto out). Fly ball to F8, that's caught. Can runner from third tag up and attempt to score? Or is inning over because of the auto out on the next batter? When exactly does the third out take effect? Thanks |
I don't know about Non Standard Anachronism (here); but is USA or NFHS, the at bat of #9 would be fully completed and the auto out takes place when the #10 is due to be up.

I know in the wRECk leagues I work teams that will have the auto-out will keep the runners running to get the third out on the bases or try scoring the run, rather than having the third out be the auto-out. If puts pressure on the defense to actually make an out on the bases rather than have auto-out end the inning. |

The one downside would be if the runner does get thrown out, you still start with an out to start the next inning. What's really fun is when the runner becomes the winning run in the last inning, knowing if he doesn't score, the game goes another inning. I watch a girl (batter) in our WrecK league score a running knowing the automatic out was after her. She hit a bloop single to center that dropped for a single. CF tries throwing her out at first and over throws it. F3 then overthrows second and the ball goes to the outfield. She rounds third and the throw to the pitcher covering the plate is about 10 feet over his head, so she scored. I think it would be ruled a single with an error on the CF, an error on the first baseman, and another error on the CF who over threw the plate. Nobody said this was good ball I was umpiring. It's better than a winning run scoring on a dropped third strike when the batter runner scores the winning run. That happened in Montana IIRC. |
