In a clinic recently we were dicussing what is the correct call for this situation....FP college level...runner on thrid, batter draws a walk, walks toward 1st, before she gets to first the catcher throws the ball and hits her in the back,runner has done nothing to provoke the throw, but she is inside the baseline JUST walking towards 1st and gets hit in the back.....what is the call? Does it make a difference whether or not she is before or past the 3 ft line even though she is just walking? Our group had several different views and I am curious how others would call this. Please give me your opinions or if you can cite a page in a book I would appreciate it very much.
