Here’s one that happened yesterday, and is a 1st timer for me.

 

Bottom of the 5th. Home team ahead 2-1, 1 out. Batter draws a walk. Next batter flies out. R1 steals 2nd, then batter reaches on catcher’s interference. Next batter is RHB and takes a strike. R2 and R1 take off on next pitch. The pitch is way inside and batter turns to get out of the way. Catcher receives ball, then stands up to throw to 3rd, but when he let it go, it hit the batter’s bat and bounced away toward the 3rd base dugout. R2 scores and R1 gets thrown out at 3rd to end the inning. Umpire declares the run to count.

 

R2 and R1 credited with SB. R2 scores on E2, R1 put out 2-5. Run is UE.

Messy inning.  Catcher is all over the place, interfering with batters, hitting batters with throws, throwing guys out.  Whew.
