!. Ball is hit down third base line and is knocked down by third baseman in fair territory. Deflected ball hits base runner rounding third base, in foul territory.
2. Batter hits pop-up behind third base, which lands in fair territory, fair ball, then bounces to hit base runner rounding third base in foul territory.
Thank you for comments.

Didn't we just go through this a little while ago?
ASA rules specifically state that a runner hit with a fair, untouched batted ball over foul territory and the defense does not have an opportunity to get an out is nothing. (8.8.E)
As far as a deflected ball, same story if the fielder could not have avoided contact with the ball. (8.8.F)
