After reading some interesting examples I thought I would put this out for consideration/conversation.
In a game last year we had this one happen:
We are batting, One out, runners on first and second base.
Batter popups up directly behind second base, SS tries to field it (not easy, but catchable) but drops it. She spots the runner on first off the bag, retrieves the ball and overthrows the firstbaseman.
The runner on second comes around and scores, the runner on first ends up at third.
As my next batter is coming to the plate, the PU calls time and confers with the BU.
The judgement is that IFR was in effect. The batter/Runner standing on first is now out.
The runner on third is sent back to first. The runner that scored will not be put back at second, she is out because "she went into the dugout."
This was in a Middle School Tournament game (7 & 8 grade teams) being played by NFHS rules.
