Ok, I'll bite. What is the "4 outs in an inning" rule?


In certain situations, 4 outs can be recorded in one inning, as per
the following example:

Tie game. One out, runners on first and third. Batter hits fly ball
to outfield, caught (2 out). Runner on third tags and is called safe
on the attempted put-out at the plate. Runner on first is thrown out
at third (3 out). Defense appeals the tag-up at third (runner left
early); he's called out (4th out) and defense succesfully removes the
run scored.

It's actually in the rule book last time I checked.
