Any What is the proper call?

[NSideSnoMexican]

Runner at second base, nobody out. Batter hits a ball down the third base line that hits third base and bounces over the fence out of play... What was called was a ground-rule double, but the runner from 2nd only advanced to third... What do you think?

I think the guy on 2nd should get home... everyone gets 2 bases... you don't have to be forced on a ground rule double...

I believe because the ball never left the infield the correct call is 1 base. If the ball sailed from the outfield that is 2 bases. Even though no one in this case "threw" the ball out of play, the ball never left the infield in fair play so 1 base should be awarded. That's how we do it here for our ASA leauges anyway.

Then you are not playing ASA rules.

Any fair batted ball (defined as a ball which has touched the ground) which leaves the field of play is a two base award to all runners and batter-runner from the time of the pitch.

Bump for more replies???

It's a ground rule double. All runners are awarded two bases from the time of the pitch. The ball left the field of play after being fair.

You don't need more replies. Irishmafia told you the call correctly.

2 base award for all runners and batter-runner from the time of the pitch.
