Fed rules only.

R1 on third R2 on first no outs in each case.

1. Sharply hit ground ball in the infield R2 is 30 feet from second when the relay either hits R2 or the throw sails (relay man clearly trying to avoid hitting R2) over the first basemans head.

2. Right fielder playing in. Fly ball to short right the ball drops in for a Texas Leaguer. R2 does a pop up slide or goes in standing and makes contact (not malicious) with the fielder on the base R2 is clearly safe beating the throw at second BR makes a wide turn at first the fielder may or may not have a play on BR.

3. Slow grounder in the infield R2 goes in to second standing up and is out on a close play. The athletic infielder makes a great play avoiding physical contact with R2(throw doesn't appear to be altered) and retires BR and R1 obviously scores.

4. No outs and nonone one base. BR hits one down the line for extra bases. BR does a pop up slide or goes in standing and makes contact (not malicious) or no contact with the fielder on third. The play is close but BR is clealy safe.

1. FPSR if the throw hits the runner. The runner needs to slide or avoid. If I thought (as you indicated) that the sail was due to fielder trying to avoid hitting the runner then I would also have FPSR. See situation 20 from 2004 interpretations where an errant throw from the catcher to 1B is ruled interference.

2. Nothing to call here.

3. If a DP is turned I would be hard pressed to call a FPSR. R1 scores.

4. Nothing to call here.
