Re: My last question about the 3-2 game.

I had 7 responses and only 2 right answers.
The game is over. The home team loses 3-2.  The rules
say that no runs score during any play in which the third out
is made on the batter/runner before he gets to 1st.
The batter is not out when he strikes out since the
catcher did not hold on to the ball.  Thus when the
pitcher tags him, he becomes the third out and none of
the runs count!!!!!!!!!
