One way to end a game...

A situation submitted in another forum:

 

Bottom of the 7th inning with 2 outs, visiting team leads 9-7. Bases loaded. Home team hits a deep single, scoring two runs. After the dust settles, the visiting coach asks if the bat that was used is BBCOR certified. The umpire inspects the bat and does NOT find a BBCOR label.

 

Ruling?

[DVA7130]

Out no runs scored? Ballgame.

1-3-2d:  ...such bats SHALL be labeled with a silkscreen or other permanent certification mark. (my emphasis)

 

This is an illegal bat, and since it was brought to the attention of the umpire before a pitch was thrown to the following batter, the penalty is batter is out and runners return.  Since this was the third out, then the game is over.

 

No need to restrict the coach as long as you can run faster than him to your car...
