Question
ArchAngel72
Ok LL Majors (11-12u)
Runners on 2nd and 3rd , 1 out I am working solo
Batter hits a ball in the gap over the 2nd baseman’s head. I am watching the runners keeping very darn good care to watch the runners coming home and the kid running to1st
I saw R3 miss the plate R2 had touched 3rd and crossed and touched the plate I see Batter touch 1st and head for 2nd on the out fields wild throw home.
I keep watching the plate and r3. He comes back to the plate and purposely stomps on the plate ( as if to say I know I missed it)
Play stops I call time and announce R3 is out as he touched the plate after the R2 and thus R2 has passed R3 on the base path (Now I am running this off from one base runner passing another)
1st I know I called the wrong runner out after some research I should have called the R2 out for passing R3.
but all things aside My thinking is If the R3 had not come back and purposely tagged the plate and just walked to the dugout I leave it alone and don’t say anything unless they appeal to the plate and the missed tag of home. But because he purposely tagged it and its now out of order I banged them for runners passing the runner in front of them.
SO?
Aside from my gaf at calling the wrong runner out. Did I apply that correctly?
sigh .. here comes the pain I can feel it..

Some of the more experienced members may correct me, but: 1. Runners are assumed to have touched the plate once they have passed it (subject to out on appeal). So at that point, R3 has scored.

Speaking of research I'm assuming you looked in the green book and found your answer. But why wait until you pull something out of your rear to make a ruling on the field. Why not RTFM occasionally un
