Question
Guest Willis
R2 no outs. Batter hits to F6. F6 attempts a tag on R2 about 1/2 way to third, but drops the ball. R2, assuming he's out starts to cut across the infield toward home while F6 recovers and tries to throw out the runner at first. R2 realizes his mistake and, rather than trying to return to third, runs home, steps on the plate, and jogs into the dugout. Defense sets up, batter walks to the plate and the pitcher delivers a pitch. Is R2 now out for abandonment or does his run score? I know that if this happened close to third, the run would score assuming the defense didn't appeal the missed base, how close does a runner need to get to a base for it to be a "missed base"?

Has this mechanic changed? I'm 99% sure that if the tag is missed and the base is missed, you make no call. In fact, this mechanic has changed at plays at 1B. We used to give a safe if the fielde
