No - Choo was in the batter's box completely, getting ready for next pitch, catcher tries to throw back to pitcher and hits Choo in the hand, ball squirts towards 3B. Runner on 3rd comes home while PU waves for dead ball after runner is about 2/3 of the way home. They umps got together and reversed the dead ball call, allowing the runner to score. You gotta see it - weird play. We won't talk about the 4 errors the Rangers made in the bottom half...

In MLB this is a live ball, play on, get what you get. The plate umpire has admitted that he was wrong to call the play dead. But the review determined that the runner would have scored anyway, so he was awarded home.

For ASA softball, this is a dead ball. The runner would have been sent back to third and there would be no further penalty.
