re: Little known rules of baseball

This almost happened in the LSU game last weekend. If the pitcher balks, but the pitcher is already in the process of throwing the ball to the plate, the ball is not dead. If the ball is hit into fair play (or wild pitch), the offense has the option of taking the result of the play, or the balk.

I think this weekend the opponents pitcher balked, threw a wild pitch, but the ump in the field seemed to be signaling dead ball. Bregaman almost scored from 2nd base on the wild pitch because the catcher didn't run after the ball.
