Dave:
Once again, Referee Magazine is wrong. If you look at the Bases Awarded chart in the FED rulebook, it clearly shows that BOTH the batter and the runner are awarded two bases on a lodged ball.
I was one of the original subscribers to Referee Magazine back when I was a pup. It didn't take me long to realize that their editing leaves a lot to be desired, particularly in the area of FED rules.
Their poor record on rules interpretations as well as their actions in a Wisconsin court have convinced me long ago not to send them any of my money. They had my support, and lost it with their poor performance.
