If a runner, while in contact with the base is hit with a fair ball, is she out or protected (ie. safe.)?
Is this a Live or Dead ball?
If a runner is hit with a fair ball, behind the 1st baseman, is the runner safe or out?
Have seen this one called the same but explained in different ways. Runner was hit while advancing to 2nd base, umpire called it immediately. But F3 was 3ft in front of bag, so ball passed an infielder. BU said it didn't matter. I disagree on this one.
Then saw another runner hit, but the call was made when BU determined that F4 could have made a play, if the ball wasn't deflected. This one I agree with.
What is the correct ruling or interpretation here? Thanks!
