Safe or Out Runners Advancing on Balk Play
The discussion covers balk rulings with runners on first and third. It explains that on a balk the bases may be treated as loaded for advancement, but a double play is not awarded once the batter is retired. The batter can return to first if not forced, and the third baseman’s touch ends the play. The umpire in chief cannot overturn the field umpire on a balk decision.
