     D. F. Webster says that the sixth hit can be scored when, after
the bases are loaded, the runner on third apparently scores, but is
called out on appeal for having missed home plate.  This isn't right.
According to the rules, the base hit is taken away when the runner from
third is called out on appeal (rule 10.06b).  I do, however, agree with
the sixth hit, when the ball hits the runner and the runner is called out
for the third out of the inning.  So, I stand corrected.  I thought it
was only possible to get 5 hits in an inning without scoring a run.
Good job, Jim Hendricks.
