Question
Guest Willis
R2 and R3, no outs. Batter bounces a hit to F6 who comes up to throw to F2. Throw is wide and pulls F2 off the plate. R3 steps over the plate and jogs into the dugout. F2 notices that he missed the plate and looks to the umpire and says, "he missed the plate." Umpire doesn't react. F2 realizes that he should do something and chases R3 into the dugout and tags him after R2 arrived at 3rd and B/R arrived at first. What happens now? My guess is that R2 is awarded home on the ball out of play (entering the dugout) and B/R is awarded third. I'd also guess that R3 is safe and his run scores unless the defense properly appeals the missed plate.
