Fourth out

Source 📝

517:
the Pirates' Hoy Park (R2), who had left second base and then touched third base. The runner on third, Jack Suwinski (R3), scored on the play before Park was tagged. Since the act of the defensive team stepping on the base was not an unmistakable appeal play, this potential fourth out was not recognized by the umpiring crew. The Nationals proceeded to leave the field, which by rule 5.09(c)(4) meant that the Nationals lost their right to appeal the play. After a lengthy delay, the umpiring crew correctly ruled that the run would count. To prevent the run from scoring, the Nationals should have either (a) touched third base before tagging runner R2 or (b) made an unmistakable appeal on runner R3 prior to leaving the field. The Pirates went on to defeat the Nationals 8–7.
90:; if the fielders make a subsequent out that prevents a run from scoring, this out will supersede the apparent third out, thus becoming the recorded third out. The defense successfully makes an appeal while the ball is still live, and the umpire calls a temporary fourth out that (usually) replaces the existing third out. For statistical purposes, the apparent third out is "undone" and the fourth out's result is recorded instead. With the advent of video replay appeals, a new rationale for making extra out(s) has emerged: insurance against a prior out being undone on appeal. These fourth-out situations are not the same as 1965: 1977: 1989: 25: 299:

Then they can make that the final out and prevent the run from scoring. But Milwaukee didn’t do that." In the aftermath of a July 2018 fourth-out incident, this game would be referenced again.

to begin a 1–4–3 or 1–6–3 double play (Aldrich–Gantner or Sheffield–Brock), the run would not have counted since a run cannot score when the final out of a half-inning is a force out or a ground out (presuming Geren was forced at second and Tolleson was out at first).

The motivation for making a fourth out is to nullify a scored run, either by putting out the runner who had scored (on appeal, if the player failed to tag up after a catch) or putting out an additional runner who is forced to advance.
