OK, it is the bottom of the ninth inning and the score is tied 2-2. There are two outs, and the bases are loaded. The batter hits a 3-2 pitch in fair territory over the left field wall, but no men score. Why not?

 

because the left fielderjumped and reached back and caught the ball over the fence

 

Who's on 1st?

 

Sure?!!

 

[sm=bangbang.gif]I blew it! Kild answered the question that I asked, but I was actually looking for a different answer-unfortunately I did not include a detail which would have invalidated Kild's response. So let me try it again and add in that detail and see if you can answer it now........

OK, it is the bottom of the ninth inning and the score is tied 2-2. There are two outs, and the bases are loaded. The batter hits a 3-2 pitch in fair territory over the left field wall for a home run, deep into the seats and the ball is not caught by anyone, but no men score. Why not?

The dog walked by, tripping over the power cord and unplugging it, thus killing the power to the PS2.

 

What he said...

 

because the batter stepped on the plate when he hit the ball
and by doin that its a dead ball and the batter was called out
and no runs are counted

or he was out of the batters box ( to deep or infront )when he hit the ball and its the same result

 

Very good! That is correct!The assumption is that there are 3 men on base, but I only indicated the bases were full.
