Discussion: Batting or fielding team leaves their gate open by accident

Looking for a ssusa rule number that applies to this situation. Overthrown ball to first base goes out of play by exiting the playing field through a gate that was accidently left open by the home team, Same thing when a an overthrown ball to third base leaves the field due to the visitor team leaving their gate open.
NancyAllen ... Can you and Butch Drake handle this one? [grins]
south florida.. the home or visiting team have nothing to do with it.. It is determined on whether it was the offense or defense that left it open.. if it was the defense I would award bases if it was the offense I would have a dead ball and keep the runners at the base that they had attained before the ball went into the dugout
