Not SNL either but a most curious rule in BB flips a sure Championship victory for some kids.
Apparently the rule:
Whether you’re in Little League, high school, college, or in the Major Leagues, the dropped third strike rule is the same across all baseball leagues.
For all levels of baseball, the dropped third strike rule is in effect when the following are true:
-The batter strikes out
-The catcher does not catch the pitch in the air
-There are less than two outs and first base is unoccupied or there are two outs
When these three things are true, the batter becomes a baserunner and is allowed to run to first base. If the runner makes it to first base before the defense tags them out or before the defense gets the force out at first base, the runner is able to stay on first base and no outs are recorded.
