stealing home on strike 3 of last out of game!

sal cMember

This actually happened in an American Legion game last night - 2 outs, bottom of the last inning, 2 strikes on batter. Runner on 3rd got green light, and got such a huge jump that he touched the plate before the pitch crossed it! Batter was out on strike 3, umpire rules that the runner was not allowed to score. Correct ruling???

absolutely correct.....

No run can score if the runner advances to home base during a play in which the third out is made by the batter runner before he reaches first base.......

Strike 3, no run scores.......

I couldn't find the OBR rule, but it is the same as the NFHS anyway:

NFHS 9.01 Exception a.) "A Run is not scored if the runner advances to home plate during action in which the third out is made by the batter-runner before he touches first base."
