How many outs?

Question: R1 on 1B, no outs. How many outs do you get when a batted ball first hits the dugout fence and then rolls down the field in foul territory and strikes the base coach's left foot?

Answer: Two. R1 and B3.

PU's explanation: The ball could have hit a rock and bounced fair, and F5 could have made a double play. Therefore the base coach prevented a potential double play, and both outs stand.

And no, a protest was not called by the offense. Go figure...

Based on a true story.

Edited to change an I to an A.
