Courtesy runner at 1st, two outs, 5th inning in a scoreless game, deep backstop with lots of room in foul territory, playing on a multi-use baseball/softball field with 225/250' fences.
Ball drilled to the left center fence.
Center fielder fields it cleanly makes a good throw to the ss cutoff
Very fast runner is waived home.
SS throws the ball to home, but up the line.
The ball and the runner arrive at the same time.
The ball is deflected by the catcher and flies into the backstop careening around the back stop to the 1st base side.
Runner crosses the plate.
The catcher chases it around.
The batter/runner sees that the ball loose and breaks for home.
The 3RD baseman is ready to make a tag at home on the batter/runner.
The Catcher comes up to throw.
The runner is walking back to the plate and is middle of the play blocking the throw/catch.
Batter/runner scores.
To further confuse the issue; the field umpire saw that the runner did not touch the plate and he thought she was coming back to touch the plate. I saw her bend over to pick up the bat and then look up into the face of the oncoming batter/runner much to her surprise to find herself in the middle of the play.
Questions
1. Who is out if anyone?
2. How many runs score if any?
