When a run can score on a double play
A run may score on a double play if the third out is not a force out or a play in which the batter would be retired at first. If a runner on third crosses the plate before the final out and the third out does not force a base race, scoring is possible. A baserunner must reach home before the double play completes.
Utility man Prince to gain experience this season
Johnson, described as a giant in stature from the Cotton States organization, will join as a pitcher and twirler. If accurate, his wares will be hard for opponents to handle, providing Prince valuable utility experience in the great game.
