What is your call?
Before the pitch, there is a runner at
third and two outs. Batter hits a legally pitched ball towards first base.
First base fielder fields the ball in fair territory right in front of the
batter runner. Batter runner slows down running towards first base.
First base fielder runs towards batter
runner to apply a tag with the ball on the batter runner instead of
attempting a force out at first base. At the same time runner on third
runs home to step on home plate. Upon making the tag on the batter runner
for the third out, does the run scored count?
