Ruling? fed, ncaa, pro - rule citation?
i assumed foul ball, runners return TOP (which would be when F1 stepped onto the rubber to take the set position??). But I have conflicting answers from 2 different old ncaa tests. any help would be appreciated.
thanks.

cut and pasted from same question on other forum.
ggk,
It is the same in all 3 codes. From the set postition, the TOP occurs when the pitcher separates his hands before delivering the pitch.
The runner gets to keep 2nd base in all 3 codes.
Rules:
FED - 2-28-3;2.28.3 a through c;2.28.3 COMMENT
NCAA - Same as FED. 2-Time Of Pitch
OBR - Point not covered. PBUC Manual - Same as FED 2-28-3 [3.6]
