Here is one which, it turns out, I only got half right.
Varsity game played under USA rules which I am doing solo.
R1 and R2.
1 out.
Batter hits a shot to right and both runners take off.
No catch.
R2 reaches 3rd and--- for some strange reason--decides to run back to second base and in doing so runs past R1.
R1 is shocked and tells R 2 to run back to 3rd, which she does but stops on the bag.
Now R 1 pushes R 2 off 3rd base , shouting, "Go! Go!"
R2 runs towards the plate but by this time the defense gets the ball to F2 who tags her out.
Now R1 is on third and B/R is on second.
How would you guys have ruled on this?
