No appeal. Out. No run scores.

B. No run shall be scored if the third out of the inning is the result of:

1. A batter-runner being called out prior to reaching first base or any other runner forced out due to the batter becoming a batter-runner.  On an appeal play, the force out is determined when the appeal is made, not when the infraction occurred.

Section 2. BATTER-RUNNER IS OUT.

D. When the batter-runner fails to advance to first base and enters the team area after a batted fair ball, a base on balls, a hit batter (Fast Pitch), a dropped third strike, or catcher obstruction.

If you are going to play with modified league rules allowing run limits are you really going to be so nit picky as to call the third out for a walked BR not touching 1st after the final run crosses the plate?

Wow dude, you take yourself way to seriously. Have fun with that, I'm sure the coaches and players in the rec league love your "enthusiasm"

It surprises me how people complain that officials don't know the rules when they officiate their games, because of a perceived slight "cost them the game." Yet, when an official displays knowledge of the rules, and claims he will enforce them, the same people who fuss about officials not enforcing the rules say he takes himself "too seriously," and he is "nitpicking" when he actually enforces the rules. Amazing...............

Larry:

During Tournament play I would call it. During Rec/Fall ball I would not. However I would tell the coach what happened and what should have happened. YES, I WOULD GIVE A RULE CLINIC, because sometimes I think we umpires forget that the coach are learning the game at the lower levels just like we had to learn the game.

Now if the other coach came and asked me why I didn't call her out. I would say, "Your right coach, I had a brain fart". I would call the other coach over. Rule the BR out and not score the run.

We should not ignore any of the rules, but that does not mean we always call them. It depends on the age and skill level. Ex. 10u Rec. R1 on 2nd gets lost in the clouds and is standing off 2nd with the ball in the circle. I notice this, I call time, I go out to second with the coach. explain the rule and let her and the coach know the next person I see off the bag with the ball in the circle is out.

So for me when I am umpiring 18G I go by the book. When I am umpiring rec. I do a little coaching.
