Hey all, I know Referee Magazine has been wrong many times in the past, but can someone confirm that the answer given in this quiz for OBR is incorrect?
a. Legal advance.
b. The ball is dead when F1 balks.
c. R1 may advance no farther than second and R2 may advance no farther than third.
d. B3 is out.
Answer given: 3. - NFHS - b (5-1-k); NCAA, pro - c, d (NCAA pro 8.05 Pen)
In this case, for OBR, you allow the play to continue, but once the ball is caught, time should be called and the balk must be enforced because the BR did not advance on the play. The balk can only be ignored if all runners, including the BR, advance at least one base. C seems correct since the result is to enforce the balk, but D is not correct since B3 is not out. He should return to bat with the same count as before the balk. Is this right, or have I suffered an aneurysm?
