Starting Player
So this happened this past weekend and I was confused on the call. Runners on 2nd and 3rd 2 outs. Runner on second had been leaving the base early all game so we asked the ump to watch for it specially on this play. Batter hits a ball to the outfield runners on 2nd and 3rd score and batter reaches first safely. We appeal to the ump that runner on 2nd base left early. He agreed and called him out. This was the third out so the ump said neither run scored and inning over.
My thinking was it was a timing play (appeal) so that the runner from 3rd should count but not the runner from 2nd. This was technically freedom but was just curious on what the ruling should have been.
Thanks
