Just happened to catch this one while surfin' the web this morning. To get to point, I thought the double play meant the run from 3rd didn't count. But it did! See the article below!...

Nationals burned by quirky 'fourth-out rule' as Pirates score despite lining into inning-ending double play https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/...espite-lining-into-inning-ending-double-play/
In short, Washington's failure to question the call before they left the field GAVE Pitt the run! Their assumption that the standard rules were in play (i.e., the run from 3rd NOT counting due to the runner not tagging up) cost them a run!! Am I right or wrong?? The Ump's not correctly calling it, and Washington not questioning the call until AFTER they'd left the field cost them a run?!?! Crazy, crazy IMHO.
