- R1, no outs. As the pitcher gets ready to deliver, he sees the batter
step out of the box, so he stops his own motion and does not throw the
pitch. Ruling:
Balk. R1 awarded 2nd base.
No balk. Umpire should call for time so everyone can take a deep breath and
start over.
EXPLANATION and Rule References
- R2, no outs. B1 bunts down the 1st base line. The pitcher takes off for
the ball as B1 heads for 1st. About ten feet down the line, B1 runs into the
pitcher who is fielding the bunted ball, knocking the pitcher over. But the
pitcher quickly gets to his feet and fires to 1st in time to retire B1. F3,
seeing R2 rounding 3rd base and heading for home, throws the ball to F2, who
tags out the now sliding R2. Ruling:
B1 out for interference, R2 awarded home. Dead ball
B1 out for interference, R2 returns to 3rd. Dead ball.
B1 out for interference, R2 out at home. Live ball.
B1 out for interference, dead ball. R2 returned to 2nd.
EXPLANATION and Rule References
- No runners, no outs. B1 hits a grounder to F6, who fields it and throws
to 1st. The ball bounces out of F3's glove and lands in the crook of his
arm. Just before B1 reaches 1st, F3 firmly hugs the ball to his chest with
his forearm just as B1 crosses 1st base. Ruling:
B1 is out.
B1 is safe.
EXPLANATION and Rule References
- R1, R2, R3, 2 outs. B1 hits a gaper into the outfield. R1, R2 and R3
score and B1 gets tagged for the 3rd out while sliding into 3rd. But the
defensive coach has his 3rd baseman stand on 3rd and appeal the fact that R2
missed the bag on his way home. The umpire agrees. Ruling:
Appeal doesn't matter, since B1 was thrown out at 3rd for the last out. R1,
R2 and R3 score.
Appeal is upheld. R2 is the 3rd out, so only R3 is allowed to score.
Appeal is upheld. R2's run is the only run that doesn't count, since R3 and
R1 scored before the appeal was made.
Appeal is upheld. No runs score.
