| Posted | Discussion |
| March 17, 2017 johnnycee 3 posts | triple play? runners on first and second, nobody out. Batter hits ground ball to shortstop who is moving toward second base bag. SS tags runner on second who inexplicably is tethered to the bag. SS then steps on second forcing runner from first, then throws to first to retire batter/runner. My team says triple play, while opposition says the man stationed on second base is not out because he never left bag. |

| March 17, 2017 SSUSA Staff 3485 posts | This is a triple play ... Dbax is correct ... See Rulebook §8.1 B. on page 43 • "..When a base runner acquires the right to a base by touching it before being put out, he may hold the base until he has legally touched the next base in order or is forced to vacate it for a succeeding runner. EFFECT: Base runner is liable to be put out, whether or not he remains in contact with the base, if he fails to vacate the base for the succeeding runner.." |

| March 17, 2017 grayhitter59 Men's 60 345 posts | the SS must tag the runner on second first before stepping on the bag, if he steps on bag first then the runner on the bag is safe. No triple play. |
