...umpire during his at bat.... Let's say it was a disputed call during that at bat. The batter hits a ball down the line and the umpire calls it foul but the batter argues that it's fair. On the next pitch the batter hits a home run. As he passes first base he again has words with the umpire. At that moment the umpire throws the batter out of the game. My question is, is the batter (now a base runner) allowed to continue around the bases to complete the home run or is he thrown out of the game at that point and only credited with a single? Does the run count or not? Also consider any base runners that may have been on base at the time. What is their status?
