BR hits a clean single, rounds first. Ball is thrown to F1, who remains motionless in the pitcher's circle, facing home.
BR stops briefly, decides F1 is not paying attention to her and sprints for 2nd base.
No problem so far.
Sitch 1 - BR sprains an ankle halfway to 2nd, and falls to the ground, remains motionless for more than Two Mississippi, and then crawls the rest of the way to 2nd base. F1 remains oblivious the whole time.
Sitch 2 - BR crashes into F4 standing in the basepath, and falls to the ground injured - never getting up.
Speaking ASA, what does the book say, and what's your call (should it differ from what the book says) in both situations.
