Okay, here's the situation.
Tie score, bottom of 7th, nobody out or 1 out. (a) B1 receives a walk, or (b) B1 is hit by pitch. Naturally, if everybody does what they're supposed to, R1 goes home, R2 goes to 3rd, R3 goes to 2nd, and B1 goes to first. They all touch their bases and the game is over. Most of us know that if there were 2 out and a runner did not touch their base, and the defense made a proper appeal, the run would not score. HOWEVER, What happens if R3 doesn't touch 2nd and instead goes to join the celebration and the defense makes a proper appeal? I know if B1 hit the ball, the run scored by R1 as a preceeding runner would count. (I differentiate between situations (a) and (b) because a walk is a live ball situation and a HBP is a dead ball situation.) Does the run count, or, because the forced movement of R1 and R2 is eliminated due to the successful appeal, do we have one more out with B1 at 1st, R1 at 3rd, and R2 at second? A little input here? I ran into this situation today, but fortunately, the defense didn't appeal. Lee [Edited by Leecedar on Dec 4th, 2004 at 06:30 PM] |
