When must a base runner tag up to advance to the next base?
When the batter hits a fly ball and there are less than 2 out the runners have to stay where they are until either the ball is caught or until they know for a fact that the ball won't be caught. If the ball is caught, they have to tag up, otherwise they can just keep on running.

2 from where he started. A simple example would be a fly ball left field, the ball is caught and the fielder flips the ball to a fan in the seats thinking it is the 3rd out. The runner is awarded 3rd base.
