I help coach my nephew's baseball team and last weekend we had a fairly normal play happen. Runner misses the base, appeal he is out... The hitter is the one that missed 3rd base, the runners in front of him (first and second) both scored. The hitter is called out, 2 runs scored...
This got me thinking... What if the runner on second missed 3rd base, and we appealed that it was the first runner. Assuming it was an inside-the-park homerun. What happens with the other runners.
Trying to clarify the above paragraph >>
Runners on first and second. One out. Hitter smashes the ball over the RF'es head. All 3 players score. An appeal is made that the runner who was on second missed 3rd base. What happens to the runner on first and the hitter? Do they both score? Do they have to go back to 2nd and 1st?
Just a random thought. Thanks for your comments.
