Gentlemen, Mostly, well all of my experience is as a LL dad/coach/ umpire. I pulled this directly from OBR 2016. Rule 6.01(a) Penalty for Interference Comment (Rule 7.08(b) Comment): A runner who is adjudged to have hindered a fielder who is attempting to make a play on a batted ball is out whether it was intentional or not. If, however, the runner has contact with a legally occupied base when he hinders the fielder, he shall not be called out unless, in the umpire’s judgment, such hindrance, whether it occurs on fair or foul territory, is intentional. If the umpire declares the hindrance intentional, the following penalty shall apply: With less than two out, the umpire shall declare both the runner and batter out. With two out, the umpire shall declare the batter out. Thanks for all the information I have learned from y'all Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That is how I called it. Thanks.

Bases loaded with 2 outs. Batter walks. Runner on 2nd walks straight to the dugout. Never touches 3rd. I know that if the runner doesn't touch first, run doesn't count. What about third? Does coach need to appeal? Can I call runner out, no run scores?

Thanks all. It came up in a game Monday, and it made me wonder. In the case Monday, the runner was called out on a tag, but I wondered if the ump could call him out there for missing first as described. I had seen it come up with a runner missing 2nd, but never 1st on the dropped strike. I guess the situation would be the same if it were just a batted ball and the throw was punted.

Here is the scenario: batter swings at strike 3. Ball is dropped. Catcher throws the ball into right field. Batter, now runner advances to 2nd. He sees that RF has trouble with the ball and goes to third. He slides safely into 3rd. Player tags him after he is on the base. Now here is the question: if the batter misses first, and no one but the umpire sees it, at the point the runner is tagged out is he out, or does the opposing coach need to appeal? The umpire sees that the batter hasn't successfully reached 1st, so is he out? It is a continuation of the dropped 3rd strike, so the tag at 3rd would be just like a tag by the catcher. Thoughts.
