"I think they are #6 and #11. Those questions, as worded, are false. But, I am almost certain the answer on the grading sheet for both is true."
What is your problem? They are both true. NFHS tests are basically created by some numbskull copying test straight out of the rule book.
#6 "A runner is not out if hit with a fair batted ball that deflects off F1's glove." TRUE
8.6. "A Runner is not out (if) a runner is hit with a fair batted ball after it touches, or is touched by any fielder."
#1 - "The ball is live and a runner may attempt to advance if she is hit by a fair batted ball that has been touched by a fielder." TRUE
8.4.1.f "Runners entitled to advance (if) a fair ball strikes a runner "after" a fair batted ball has been touched by a fielder."
Now - did you catch the error on #23 - "When an improper batter is put out, all outs made on the play stand if the defensive team properly appeals." The test answer is true BUT - it is false.
This question was written from the 2003 rulebook, but the rule was changed in 2004 to state that the umpire should call the proper batter out, not the improper batter, and that any other outs will stand. In NHFS, the improper batter is never out.
