If a runner passes another runner this is a delayed dead ball right? Same thing for a coach physically assisting a runner, right? Say there are 2 outs and bases loaded and a runner passes another runner. Since it is a delayed dead ball you let the play go, right? Do any runs count if they score on this play? That runner passing her would be the third out so I don't think they can but it isn't a force play. Dave

dave,

See ASA Rule 8 Secion 8 D. Since you did not mention which
runner did passing where, the cited rule will clear it up
for you.
