R1 on 3b, R2 on 1st. Nobody out.
Batter hits a line drive to left center that drops in for a base hit. Middle infielder (intentionally) tosses off his helmet and goes out for the cut. Ball is thrown to him, he turns and throws toward 2nd base. His throw comes up short, and the ball hits the helmet that he previously took off.
What’s the ruling?
I thought dead ball, 2 bases from the time of the throw. Anybody have the detached equipment rule link or case play number for clarification ?
