Nice example of bone headed baserunning leading to a triple play. The umpires did a good job keeping track of the action. Also note R3, while in a run down, tries to grab the catcher to get an interference call. Home Plate umpire does a good job signaling no interference (by use of the safe sign) during the run down.

Two interesting baseball events here, I'm curious what's correct. 1) Batter hits a missile line drive past the pitcher that short-hops the runner leading off second. There was no chance of the SS or 2B fielding it. What is: a) The status of the runner b) The status of the batter c) The statistic for the batter d) The official ruling of the play 2) Right-handed batter takes a pitch high and inside and dodges the pitch. The runner on second is stealing third. Because the batter dodged the pitch, he's leaning backwards; the catcher throws the ball toward third but it hits the batter's helmet. What is: a) The status of the batter b) The status of the runner c) The ruling of the play (if any)

I'd never heard this before and I cant find a reference for it so I wanted to post it and see if anyone had heard of this before. A runner on first with no-body out. Batter hits a deep fly ball to left field that may or maynot be caught. The runner on first advances all the way to second and stands with one foot on second and the other foot between first and second (so he has not rounded the base). The left fielder makes the catch and the runner who had one foot on second retreats to first base. Does the runner have to break contact with second base and then re-tag second base before he can return to first base (retracing his steps even though he never actually rounded second base, only making contact with one foot)? I know that if he rounds second base he has to retrace his steps and touch second before returning to first base. But I heard on the radio the other day that the runner must re-tag the base (break contact and then re-tag) before he can return to first base. I'd never heard that before and was wondering if it was true and what Rule number would apply, Thanks! CR
