ASA base running

[peck22]

OK a guy was on first the ball was hit deep lc the guy rounded 3rd and the guy that hit the ball touched 3rd then when back to 2nd and the guy when back two 3rd is the guy that rounded 3rd out because the other one touched 3rd?

[peck22]

I'm going to try to rephrase this in English and then give my answer:
There was a runner on 1st base (we'll call him R1) and the batter (B1) hit a ball to deep left center. R1 rounded 3rd base in an attempt to score. B1 went to 3rd thinking R1 was going to run home. R1 changed his mind and went back to 3rd base. B1 therefore went back to 2nd base.
Is that what you were trying to say?

Unless B1 ran past R1, there is no automatic out. If B1 also rounded 3rd and didn't retouch 3rd on the way back to 2nd he would be in jeopardy.


On a side note: Peck, you REALLY need to learn how to write. That might be the worst description of a play I've ever read.

What in the ***** just happened in that opening post. I'll just say this. Base running... it's over-rated. Coach the team and bat yourself in front of the guy that hits all the bombs...

/thread.

peck, it's not a matter of picking on someone. To be bluntly honest (and not trying to be disrespectful), your post was extremely difficult to read.

How you handle others' responses is your own business.

Peck, did I answer the question you asked or is there more information that I missed?

Janesville...nice area. I spend a week at Delevan each year.

If two guys are both standing on the same bag, they are not out. If neither runner is forced to the bag in question, then the trailing runner may be tagged out while both are occupying the base, but unless he is tagged, there is no out.

(I believe the trailing runner is the guy that must be tagged, but it may be something else, like the first runner to occupy the bag has the right to it.)

 

[hookumsnivy]

In your description, none of the runners were tagged and the trailing runner did not PASS the 1st runner. If that's the case, then no outs would be recorded.

OK Ty for that info
