re: Baseball Game 2: LSU 8, Tennessee 9 | Final/11

Here are the relevant rules in the MLB rulebook:

Rule 6.05 (j) A batter is out when, after a third strike or after he hits a fair ball, he or first base is tagged before he touches first base.

Rule 7.01 A runner acquires the right to an unoccupied base when he touches it before he is out. He is then entitled to it until he is put out, or forced to vacate it for another runner legally entitled to that base.

Rule 7.08 (e) Any runner is out when he or the next base is tagged before he touches the next base….


So, going by MLB rules, the ball must beat the runner to be base. A tie is not 'beating' the runner - it is arriving at the same time. Therefore, counselor, you must rule the runner safe - meaning, tie goes to runner. That from MLB rules, not sandlot.

Unfrickingbelievable
