| Feb. 13, 2015 Fabe Men's 65 456 posts | Courtesy Runner on Base n is Up to Bat Staff: Rule 8.5 (4) relates that the out is at the base n does not effect the runner's turn to bat, unless it is the third out. If that runner's decision to run causes that third out of the inning does the runner still leads off the next inning with batting? Mahalo for any clarification! Aloha, Fabe |
| Feb. 13, 2015 SSUSA Staff 3490 posts | @Fabe: The courtesy runner on base when it's his turn to bat does cause the out at the base AND he is required to bat in his proper position in the batting order ... He comes to bat immediately if there are less than two outs at that time, OR he leads off the next inning if his out at the base causes the third out of the ½-inning at bat ... |
| Feb. 13, 2015 Fabe Men's 65 456 posts | Mahalo for the rule clarification…I does change strategy of the game if the player on base is not penalized with missing a turn to bat if his choice caused the third out! Fabe |
