Question
Guest Umpire bill42
Runner on first and third - one out. Batter hits a long fly to deep left center. Fielder catches it - - the runner on first left early and does not attempt to return to first. The left fielder throws the ball to first - first baseman steps on first to get the third out. The runner on third tags up properly and vacated third on time - and scores BEFORE the ball reaches first. Does the run count. I have had very experienced umpires come down on both sides.. Run counts/Run does not count..

No need to take our word for it or the word of any of your "very experienced" umpires—the answer to your question is in the rule book. OBR rule 5.08 Comment (the very last paragraph in rule 5.08(b).
