Question
13U baseball   Runners on 2nd and 3rd   batter attempts a safety squeeze  runner on 3rd gets back but runner on 2nd caught in run down  on the 3rd throw in the run down ball is tossed out of play.  Where does the runner on 2nd end up?  Thanks, BOB

Answer
I am assuming into dead ball territory.....If the ball was thrown by an outfielder, then he is awarded a minimum of two bases....If by an infielder, a minimum of one base, thereby forcing the runner at third to score in either case.

Great question.....Thanks, Andy

If this helped, please rate me positively...if not then let me know ASAP.......
