Mechanic on no safe or out call

Just like someone on a dropped third strike not going to first base and the catcher not tagging her or throwing to first. When she enters the dugout she is declared out. I guess I see where if she went to the first base dug out you would have to consider she touched home until appealed, but in this situation she didn't make it to the plate and the defence and the offence both conseded that the play was over. I don't think in this situation I would consider her to have overrun home and missed it, but just abandened her base running.

I agree Ed, why would 1st base dugout not be any more dead than 3rd base
dugout.

BTW, I see you had a warming trend that is causing some problems
in Alaska.
