Dead Ball Craziness

[Buck912]

Again speaking FED and in response to Tom's inquiry, there would be no waiting to see if an attempt is made to return. By rule (FED), the runner cannot return once the ball is ruled dead and she has advanced, touched or remains beyond the base that was originally missed. The dead ball award can be made, however after the proper appeal, she would be called out. The runner could actually be put out in a live ball appeal before the ball was thrown out of play at 3rd or as described in this situation, on a dead ball appeal. Either way, the runner is out.
