". . . and before the batter-runner or a trailing runner has not yet been put out."

This might be the single worst mangling of grammar and syntax in all the many rule books (and man, that's saying something). Well, I guess it's to be expected from a college code.

The 2006 NCAA book, under its definition of "force out," said, "There cannot be a force out . . . when a fly ball is not caught."

Howzat?

They removed "not" for the 2007 book. Only 684 corrections to go.
