Good morning;
There was a situation that occurred during my softball
game the other night and the umpire and I have a
disagreement as to the correct ruling.
Here's the situation:
~ runner on third with less than two outs
~ batter hits a line drive that hits the runner on
third while he is standing on the base
~ after hitting the runner on third; the ball rolled
into foul territory
Can you please provide the correct ruling including the following
1) runner on third status after being struck with the batted ball
2) batter status (is he out, does he hit again or is he awarded first base)
3) live ball or foul ball
Thank you so much for your time and expertise,
David Watson
