Just had a thought and not sure of the answer.....

I was sitting there just running through scenarios (both sides of the ball) in my mind and I think I stumped myself. LoL

Runner on 2nd and a runner on 3rd with one out.
Batter hits a deep fly to left, that is easily caught.
Runner on 3rd hold the bag and takes off for home on the catch, runner on 2nd took off on the hit.
Left fielder realizes that the runner needs to tag up on 2nd and throws a strike to 2nd and registers a putout but not before the runner on 3rd crosses the plate.

Does the run count?

My gut says NO since the runner having to tag-up at 2nd is under a force.

The run counts.

 

[Balldiddly]

Would it have counted if there were two outs going into the play?

 

[The3dm]

The run counts.

Just wasn't sure because of the runner being forced back to 2nd. Thx

The requirement of a runner to tag up on a caught fly ball is not a force out, it is an appeal play.

 

[tygerblood]

I would definitely say the run does count

No, the caught ball would be the third out.

 

[Balldiddly]

No, the caught ball would be the third out.

Thanks… I think my brain was jelly after looking at the tryout page… completely overlooked that it was the third out. See what OFC will do to a person…
