RE;Dropped 3rd
Lets see if this washes or makes any sense.
There are very few coaches that do not teach their players to run on strike outs..whether or not runners are on bases. Most are taught to immediately head for first on strike three. They are taught not to peer back to see if the catcher has made the play or muffed, because by taking this glance they have lost vital time. Coaches are hoping that the catcher is not completely in the game and makes that throw to 1B and it ends up in RF. In Dakota's originial post I still have BR out due to K...but no interference. ASA Rule 8, Section 8, P. 2001 Book page 111. "When, after being declared out or after, scoring, a runner intentionally interferes with a defensive players opportunity to make a play on another runner. The runner closest to home plate at the time of the interference shall be declared out. A runner continuing to run and drawing a throw may be considered a form of interference. This does not apply to the batter- runner running on the dropped third strike rule. glen
