Interpretation of balk rules in a baserunning play
The article discusses legality of a baseball play where a first baseman hides the ball and a run scores on a balk. If the pitcher remains on the rubber delivering to the catcher to try for a plate out, each delivery is legal and the home run stands with both runners scoring. If the pitcher lacks the ball on the rubber, a balk occurs. The runner on third may score, and the fielder’s act of hiding the ball then throwing out the runner at the plate is not legal, leading to balk scores.
