Question
Little League 12 and under. #3 Runner on 3rd. #5 batter bats out of turn and gets a base on balls. #3 runner advances on ball #4 and scores on passed ball. Appeal to umpire from defense. #5 Batter/Runner is declared out and #3 runner is sent back to 3rd. Is this correct?
CT,
I have a couple questions to ask you to make sure I give you an accurate answer. If you can give me the batting order as was suppose to be followed, it would help me explain the situation a little bit better.
Also, I need to know what batter was up when #3 scored.
This will help. Thanks.
