A buddy of mine was telling me about a situation in his game the other night, and it didn't sound right to me. Let me get your opinions.
Bases loaded, 2 out and a ground ball was hit to 3rd, which he bobbled. He recovered the ball, beat the runner coming from 2nd and touched 3rd for the final out, but before he touched 3rd the runner from 3rd crossed the plate. He said, the umpire said the run counts because of the "timing" and the only "true" force was at 1st and not at any other base.
Now he belives that is the rule, and I disagree 100%, that run should not have counted.
