Bases loaded with two outs and the batter hits a homerun. When the umpire throws a new ball to the pitcher the defensive team appeals the play at second base and the umpire rules the batter that hit the homerun out at second on appeal for missing the base as he ran out his homerun. How many runs, if any, score on the play?

I want to hear from you Ryan P.

only three. since the only player that didn't touch the base was the hitter,he is the only out.

Only one run would count. The player on third would have counted, but as the batter hits second base only one run would have came in already. Report It

I believe two.

Three, as long as the other runners hit all the bases. Only the person who missed the base would be out. The other runners would count.

Throw a loop in that question, what if one of the runners missed a base? The other team appeals the person who started on second, saying he missed third base. Would the runner on first, and the batter who hit the home run, count?

The answer is yes.

Only two runs will have counted because he(batter) traveled two bases and only two runners would have crossed the plate at that time. He will be called out and the inning will be over.

3 runs score

one run scores and batter is considerd out once he misses the bag.

My guess would be two..... back in the 60's something similar happened in the game Harvey Haddix pitched 12 perfect innings against the Braves....in the 13 Felix Mantilla reached first on an error(I think)....with one out, Aaron walked putting Mantilla at 2nd base.....Joe Adcock next up hit a homerun (apparent) as he rounded second, he passed Aaron and was credit with a single....using this same logic....with Mantilla at 2nd base....I would say 2 runs would be allowed?????....by the way the winning pitcher was Lou Burdette who went the entire 13 innings....he recently passed away.

3 runs score. The out isn't recorded until after all 3 runners have crossed the plate. If the third out is recorded due to a batter or runner missing a base, no FOLLOWING runner may score on the play, and of course the runner who missed the base is out and doesn't score, but the preceding runners' runs count.

Note that if any runner misses a base at which he could be forced out, NO runs would score on the play if that was the third out.

3 runs would count as 3 runners would have crossed the plate before the third out is recorded,as this is also not a force out only the batter runners run would not count as he is out at 2nd.The batter is credited with a single

The situation could impact it. If it was the bottom of the ninth with the score tied, it would be considered a single, and since only one run was needed to decide the game, then just one run would be counted.

That was the logic followed in the Haddix game.

3 cause the runners are awared the bases on the HR if the ball left playing territory, however they have to touch their bases. If it was inside the park HR then it is a judgement call were the other runners were when the batter runner missed second base

Why do so many people guess on baseball rules questions? And why do they almost always guess wrong? :-)

Three runs score, as most others have said. It's not a force out, and it's not an out made by the batter before touching first, so all runs that touch the plate before the out is recorded score.

The out is recorded at the moment of the appeal, not when the base is missed.

So all three runners score.

If it were another runner that were put out for missing a base, no runners BEHIND him score. So if it had been the runner from first that missed second, only the two runners ahead of him score. See Rule 7.

I'm not Ryan but I'm answering. If the bases were loaded and the batter hit a homerun. it would be a grand slam. they are the greatest hits you can get. if you hit one it brings in 4 runs. :-)
