I saw this being argued on a different forum-
Final inning
2 outs & the bases loaded
Batter walks
The runner from first safely touches second then rounds and is tagged out prior to the runner from third touching home.
The question was does the run count.
I'm pretty sure it does because the runner is entitled to home without being put out. Some argued this was a timing play and the run can't score because the game is over.
I was hoping someone could cite a rule or case play where this is covered.
Also assuming the run counts, as an umpire what do you do to make sure everyone is aware of the run counting?
