Situation - 10U TCS Tournament...
1 out. Runners at 1B and 3B. Batter swings at strike 2, and runs to 1B, mistakenly thinking it was strike 3. Runner at 1B runs to 2B. Catcher throws to 1B. 1B throws to 2B, and tags the runner. On the throw from 1B to 2B, runner at 3B runs home and crosses the plate.
After much discussion between the umps and coaches, the PU rules that the B-R is out on "misconduct" for running on strike 2, and calls the runner going from 1B to 2B out on the tag (bad call, but those happen). This was the one that floored me...Run did not count because PU "didn't see her cross the plate". She ran right in front of him!
Game finished tied 0-0.
