Baseball game with odd rule enforcement

In this chapter, they describe a baseball game where an odd rule is being enforced, causing confusion among the players. The Cubs second baseman throws the ball, which normally should end the game, but the first base coach intercepts it and throws it into the fence. However, the second baseman retrieves the ball and heads towards second base, causing outrage among the players. The umpires are consulting the rule book to determine what should happen.
