You don't need a rule to not rule someone out. If you think this player should be out, there must be a rule that tells you this player is out for doing something. This player has not done anything to be called out for.

If the league didn't have a six run rule, you'd call him out right? 8-7-U?

To fork this thread a little since I'll be offline shortly:
To make this a little worse for your position, suppose that we have the bases loaded with no outs and the Batter gets ball 4. The runner from 3rd comes home and scores. Then the runners from 2nd and 1st (having legally advanced) run off the field (what with it being 6 runs and all). The the batter runner runs off the field. Run scores? If you have to make it up (and you do), make it up in the way it ought to be called.

Of course the run scores. BR is out for failing to run to first. 1 out. 6th run scores, inning over. By what rule do you call anyone else out? And even if you do, by what rule would either of them wipe the run off the board?

This really isn't that complicated.

The only league rule we have for this age group is the maximum runs allowed per inning (6). Everything else is ASA. The explanations by mbcrowder and shatboi make perfect sense. Thanks.

I know a lot of times the things I say may make me sound like I have, but did you really need to point it out to everyone???

For the record, folks, my handle on here is a phoenetic pronunciation of "Scotty Boy," a name that was bestowed upon me by my late grandfather as well as several others since. Skah + t = Scotty, and boi = Boy.

8-7-U. I don't see why you want to ignore that rule. You're missing the whole thrust of my counterexamples because you refuse to confront that rule. And I don't really blame you because the league meant to have their six run rule supersede it but you can't get there until you're willing to admit you have to make up rules.

8-7-U does not apply to the BR

No but it does apply to the runners who start out at 1st and 2nd. If they run off the field for the first and second out before the BR gets off the field then if you call the BR out, you're calling her out for the third out (made before she reached first).

Sigh... I already said the BR is out. She can't very well be out again, much less 3 times. I'm not ignoring 8-7-U at all.
