[quote name="MrUmp1" post="348353" timestamp="1204974923"] The ball is dead immediately, all runners advance 1 base from the base they occupied at the time of the pitch. Except if it is a strike for the third out of an inning. You made me go to the book for that one LOL... and don't ask me why the exception all I did was write what was in the rule book. Hope I never have to explain that one to a coach lol. [/quote] Rule 6.05 (n) With two out, a runner on third base, and two strikes on the batter, the runner attempts to steal home base on a legal pitch and the ball touches the runner in the batter’s strike zone. The umpire shall call “Strike Three,†the batter is out and the run shall not count; before two are out, the umpire shall call “Strike Three,†the ball is dead, and the run counts.
