I'm having brain lock here. THis should be simple and I'm making it difficult.
R1 is on second base with no outs. B1 hits a popup that comes down over second base. Now, I know that the runner need no vacate a base on a fly ball, but cannot interfere. I also know that in an infield fly situation that the runner is not out for getting hit with a popup while on base. However, this is not an infield fly.
If the runner in my situation is hit with the popup, is he out and the ball is dead, or is the ball simply dead and the batter awarded first, or is the ball live? Help please. Oh, BTW, FED rules here.
