This is not a rules question but a most unusual 1/2 an inning that anyone will ever see.
Two of the best teams in NYC are playing each other. James Monroe from the Bronx is playing Richmond Hill at Richmond Hill's field. It was a great game with Monroe leading 3-1 going into the bottom of the 7th.
Leadoff batter gets a hit. Next batter doubles scoring 1. They change the pitcher. He strikes out the next batter. 1 out. Next batter strikes out but the ball gets away from the catcher. Instead of just throwing to 1st for the easy 2nd out, he tries to get the guy who was on 2nd, going to 3rd but was way late
Now you have 1st and 3rd, 1 out. The runner on 1st steals 2nd as they didn't want to risk the other runner scoring.
The pitcher strikes out the next batter, 2 out. They intentionally walk the next batter as he is the best hitter on the team
Based loafed, 2 out and the pitcher gets 2 quick strikes on the next batter. He then throws a great curve, in the dirt which the batter swings and misses. The cat her runs out and goes basically half way up the line to just throw the batter out at 1st. But he short armed the ball on what should have been just an easy toss and the ball bounced 2 feet in front of the ,1st baseman and bounced away, scoring the tying run. I'm standing there in disbelief. The pitcher then struck out the following batter.
What makes this interesting is that the pitcher struck out 5 guys in the inning and the team scored 2,runs.
BTW we played 10 and Richmond Hill won.
