EXCEPTION 1: The batting out is a result of an ejection or a player leaving the game for any reason other than injury. EXCEPTION 2: The batting out comes up in extra innings. EXCEPTION 3: The score is tied.
In each of the 3 exceptions listed above, the batting out will apply in the last inning of the game.
