Question-When two base runners
touch third at the same time. and
neither is forced by the batsman,
which can he touched out?
Answe1-We'll call them A and B.
The fellow who was already on third
is A and B runs in on him from sec
ond without being forced to do SO. A
has right to that base. B has left
his base and can be touched out. If
A holds to his sack he is safe.
