Text | Secretary Young “officially” says that when a game is a tie in the last half of the ninth inning, with a man on third base, the batter who gets a safe hit, bringing home the man on third, thus scoring the winning run, is, by a strict interpretation of rules, entitled to but a base-hit, even though it be a two or three baser; and the same rule applies if he makes a home-run. Mr. Young thinks, however, that in justice the batter would receive credit for whatever credit his hit would otherwise be entitled to, but under existing rules the batter is only entitled to what he was accomplished at the moment the base-runner closes the game by crossing the home-plate. |
