Last night I was watching a game (USSSA). Runner on 1st, no outs.
Ball hit to the fence in Right. R1 trips over the bag rounding 3rd. Base coach picks him up and he comes in to score. BR continues to 3B when the play stops.
After the play, the umps call R1 out, run does not score.
The defensive team was arguing that BR had to go back as it is a dead ball as soon as the assistance was given. Play continued after a short discussion.
Good job by the umps. Not only did they get it right, but they handled the questioning of the ruling very professionally. Granted it was not that complicated of a call, but I figured I would give an Atta Boy on this board, just to be different
