Sample QuestionWith bases loaded and 1 out, B5 has a 3 ball 2 strike count. On the next pitch, a 3rd strike is called and the ball gets by F2. The batter takes off for 1st base. All runners are attempting to advance. F2 retrieves the ball throwing the ball to F1 who steps on home before R1 arrives. F1 then throws the ball to F5 who steps on 3rd before before R2 arrives. F5 rolls the ball to the pitchers circle and the defense leaves the field. Thinking there are not 3 outs, the 3rd base coach has all his runners including the batter touch all bases including home.
