what are the correct umpire mechanics when the batter/runner misses 1st base but beats the throw.. 1) should the umpire make no call and wait to see it the defense appeals before he gets back to the base then call safe if no appeal 2) hesitate a few seconds and then give a safe signal and...

Bases loaded, one out. Batter hits a ground ball to the infield. Defense makes a play at 2B (force out). Runner on 3rd scores. As a result of this play, runners at 1st & 3rd, one run in and two outs. For some unknown reason, the runner at first abandons the bag and returns to the dugout...

runner on 1st, ball hit to ss who races to 2nd to tag the bag, he tags the bag beating the runner but trips on the bag and falls forward hitting the ground which causes him to drop the ball from his glove I have the runner out agree??

batter hits a pop up near 3rd base line and the ball begins to drift toward the coaches box, the 3B coach is back pedaling trying to get out of the fielders way but the fielder chasing after the ball bumps into him and doesn't make the catch, would this be interference or just incidental contact...

this came up in a recent slo-pitch league game, bases loaded and after the batter stepped into the batters box, the pitcher had a brain fart and told the umpire to walk him, he thought 1st base was open. The batter starts down the 1st base line and then the pitcher realized that he had...

scenario... ball hit up the middle and off the pitchers glove and then hits the runner going from 1st to 2nd .. I know per the rule below the runner is not out once the pitcher makes contact with the ball and the runner could not avoid contact with the ball .. my question is if this is a live...

with bases loaded, does it matter which base is appealed 1st if you want to appeal that the runners on 1st and 2nd left the base early on a caught fly ball, do you have to appeal the base closest to home 1st?

bases loaded 1 out and the runner going into 2nd is called out but he continues to run the bases and the defense attempts another play on him at 3rd while the runner from 3rd scores what is the call, is this a dead ball or delayed dead ball , also would this violation come under interference...

I watched a play the other day, bases were loaded 1 out and there was a 7 run limit per inning, run #7 is on 3rd base, the batter hits a clean single to the outfield all base runners advanced 1 base except the batter who never touched 1st base, he figured the 7th run had scored and even if...
