I have 2 situations here:
Runner on second, less than 2 outs, B1 hits a ball down the first base line. F3 runs over to make the catch then tubmles over the fence. Is this a catch if he caught the ball, but had no feet down in play? Would this be ruled a catch and carry and the runner be awarded 3rd? Is it different if he had a foot down when he caught the ball and then fell over?
Runner on second, less than 2 outs, B1 hits a rocket to center. F8 runs to the fence, catches the ball, the fence gives out, and F8 leaves the playing field (beyond the homerun fence). What is the ruling and award to R2(if there is any)?
