#1 Dead ball - Ball

#2 Bad BU - BU should not call foul ball. It's not their job. PU awarded the base because it is the responsibility of the defense to know what the situation is.

HOWEVER! Once the ball is killed, even by mistake, it's dead. The BU's mistake should cause the runner to have to go back to 1st and a strike (foul) be put on the batter. That is why the BU should not call foul balls.

How many strikes were there? If 2 before the foul tip we can still have the out because the batter was already retired.
