Rule question

Batter hits ball into corner & tries for a double. Slides in before the tag, touches 2nd, but over slides bag & is then tagged out. Is he credited with a double or a single? I.e., did he actually make it to 2nd since he couldn't hold it? Thanks.

I'd say double.

Double. It's the same as hitting a double and getting thrown out trying to advance to 3rd. As long as he made it to 2nd then it's a double.

What Blake said. It's scored as a double than a tag out by whoever was covering the base.

Official scorer has to see him reach safely and then the tag though...if you see it but they don't, its only going to be a single...if youre the scorer - double
