I posted about this on my own lj yesterday, because how can one not pass along something *that* good?
Turns out the umpire was incorrect. Because the ball was dead, the rules permit a pinch runner to run the bases for the hitter, with the homerun and three rbi credited to the hitter.
This has absolutely no bearing on the true sportsmanship and honor that those two young women (who had no idea it was the hitter's first ever homerun) demonstrated.
