count on a double play which retires
the side, if such play is continuous.

tired the side. the runner on third
who held = his base until the fly ball
was caught. and scored before the
third out of the triple play was made
scored a legal run. In such play the
third out must be a force out. or a
play in which the batsman is retired
before reaching first. to make void the
run. The triple play was made pos

part of the runners on first and sec
