Baseball error leads to runners on third after rundown
In a live play the runner from third avoids a tag after the shortstop flips to the catcher and the man from second advances to third without returning. The ruling focuses on touching the runner from second and notes the third baseman’s non-forced status remains on third while two runners occupy the bases. The text then shifts to a separate note about Jess Willard declaring only white contenders.
