Umpire ruling on runner failing to touch third base
In a play with a runner on second who scores after a fly to the outfield is not caught, the runner returns toward second and fails to retouch third. The ball is not caught and the run counts only if the runner is safe. Any major league umpire would call the runner out for not touching third base both ways, so the run does not count, per the scenario.
