This happened in my granddaughter's 14U travel ball game.
The actual situation was 1 out and a runner on first. I don't know the exact inning but it was before the 7th and within the game time limits. The batter hits ground ball to SS who throws to first for the out. The base runner moves to second. The umpire yells, "Three Outs!" The defensive team starts to run off the field. The runner on second realizes there are only 2 outs and breaks for third where she is "safe". The batting team coaches come out of the dugout to challenge that the half-inning is not over. After several minutes of relatively calm discussion, the umpire acknowledges the mistake, and has the defensive team go back on the field. Then sends the runner on third back to second.
Is that the correct resolution? Is the base runner penalized for knowing the real situation?
