That’s actually not true. It does not clearly state that at all. It states that a runner is out if the ball beats him to the bag and a runner is safe if he touches the bag before the ball is caught. There is actually no specific mention of a tie. Ties are almost always called safe because the ball did not beat the runner.

If a runner touches the bag at the same time the ball is caught, he didn't touch the bag before the ball is caught. Read the bold part. Trust me on this rule, I umpired high school and some small college ball for years. A tie is an out every time.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Time to pull him. There’s no reason to risk this and no bullpen to save.

Agree

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Uh ......... OOOOOOOOO

 

[peerless98]

Time to shut these cocks down.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Come on now, don't blow this game.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Well, looks like keeping in Tidwell after 7 innings was a bad decision.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

GBO!!

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Go get him Tony

 

[cobbwebb0710]

We need to turn 2
GBO!!

 

[TN_gal]

Hunley now in.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Hunley in

 

[Gilbert]

Gotta finish this one off.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

That huge momentum shift bc of the pop out... Ughhh

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I think the best case scenario here is 5-4 at the end of this inning with it being 2nd and 3rd no outs.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Time for the Gamecock fans to stand up & wave their white towel.

I think so as well

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Gotta finish this one off.

Twss ...

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I should have known this wouldn’t be a game we just coast to the end. I really hope we don’t blow this.

 

[AthensVol2007]

Our staff is so damn arrogant at times. It doesn’t take anyone with immense baseball knowledge to see he had hit his wall. That’s not a knock on Blade by any means. Very few pitchers in this league can face an SEC lineup 3x through and the ones who can are the elite of the elite in all of college baseball.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

I hope Hunley is our answer here in this spot.

If a runner touches the bag at the same time the ball is caught, he didn't touch the bag before the ball is caught. Read the bold part. Trust me on this rule, I umpired high school and some small college ball for years. A tie is an out every time.

And there is a second part to the rule that states batter is out if the ball beats him to the bag. So it’s the same in reverse. Therefore there is no clear cut ruling on a tie. And more times than not it is called safe. But that’s a different discussion.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Unreal. Weak hit ground ball base hit. Everything coming up South Carolina this inning.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Base hit in the right spot for SC to score another run.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Well this is bad now
