Question
Does run count if bases are loaded, the ball is hit to 3rd, the runners are safe, however the runner at 3rd overruns 3rd base and is tagged out. Contrasting thoughts are that continuation of play would mean that run does not count versus once out ceases to be a force out then run would count.
Larry,
I'm taking that this is two outs. Well, because the play is no longer a force play, the run would count as long as the third out isn't made before the runner scores.
MY contrasting thought: If the league is coach pitch, then I assume that it's an instructional division, and score shouldn't be an issue. But then again, I could be wrong.
I hoped this has helped, should you have any other questions, please feel free to write.
